The ''New York Atlas'' was a Sunday newspaper in New York City which was published from 1838 until the 1880s. The paper was founded as a Sunday-only paper in 1838 by Anson Herrick and Jesse A. Fell as the ''Sunday Morning Atlas''.〔Hudson, Frederic. (Journalism in the United States, from 1690-1872 ), p.338 (1873)〕 It began publication on August 12, 1838.〔Lee, Alfred McClung. (The Daily Newspaper in America: The Evolution of a Social Instrument ), p.392 (1937)〕 Frederick West soon joined as an editor and partner in the paper, Fell departed, and John F. Ropes also joined as a publisher, and the publishers then were known as "Herrick, West, and Ropes".〔〔(About this Newspaper: Sunday morning Atlas ), chroniclingamerica.loc.gov, Retrieved November 22, 2010〕 By November 1842, its reported circulation was 4,500, ranking it second (after the New York Herald) among the five New York papers who were publishing on Sunday at the time.〔 The paper continued operation under Herrick's sons Carleton Moses and Anson after Anson Sr. died in 1868, and ceased publication sometime in the early 1880s.〔(9 January 1904) Williams, Henry Llewellyn. (The New York Atlas (letter to editor) ), ''The New York Times''〕〔, chroniclingamerica.loc.gov, Retrieved May 27, 2011〕 According to Library of Congress holdings information, the paper's title was the ''Sunday Morning Atlas'' from 1838-40, ''The Atlas'' from 1840-53, and ''the New-York Atlas'' from 1853-81. ==Notable contributors== *P.
