fuch a particular knowledge of the country

of North America, may recommend it to

the public ; we therefore prefumed to de-

dicate it to You. To You we owe our juft

acknowledgments for having enabled us

to redify former mifiakes, to offer details

hitherto unknown, and to collc6l a very

great variety of intercfting obje(5ls, within

a moderate compafs. Notwithftanding

our utmoft afiiduitv and attention to

SURVEYS and Topographical Charts being fit

only for a Library, fuch Maps as an Officer may-

take with him inro the Field have been much wanted.

The following Colleclion forms a Portable Atlas of

North America, calculated in its Bulk and Price to,

fuit the Pockets of Officers of all Ranks.

It confids of a General Map of that Part of the

Globe, called North America, and of a Second Ge-neral Map of those Islands, Shores, Gulfs, andBays, which form what is commonly called the WestIndies ; thefe we confider as Introdudtory, and as

giving a General Idea, and we trufl: a juft one. Thenext three Maps, which divide the Continent of Norikjimerica into the Northern, Middle, and Southern, Britijli

Colonies form the Body of this Work. The Firft

is copied from the Maps and Surveys which have been

publiflied under the Protedion of the Admiralty and

Board of Trade. The Maritime Parts of CamdaiNova Scotia, and Nei^ England, have been adjufted bjMajor Holland from his aftronomic Obl'ervations,

and the interior Parts have been carefully ccrrc4fiecJ

from Governor Pownall's late Map. The Second^

being the Provinces of New Tork, Neiv Jerfey, Fenfyhaaiv.,

and Maryland, have been collated with, and corrcd:ed

by Governor Pownall's late Map ; and as nothing has

yet been found, or can be more exaft than MefTrs. Fryand Jefferson's Survey of Virginia, in tliofe Parts this

Map is copied from that, with the Addition of Go-vernor Pownall's late Improvements. The Third

Map

( V,;. )

Map of the SoutJmn Colcnics is projcifled in thr

grcutcft Part from Actual Surveys, in others from

Journals, as laid down by Pcrfons perfcdtiy knowinp; in

ihc Topography of the rcfpcckive Countries, by Mcfl'rs.

Collet, Dcnbikek, Cook, de Braum, and others.

The Coafts of L^Jl crJ IFeJl FiorUa, and tlic Gulf of

Floriddy arc adjulled by the very curious Nautical Sur-

veys of Engineer Romans. This Map will be found

to have a vcrv particular Degree of Geographical and

Topographical Merit As the Lakes C/:nmpI.iin

and George form the Main Pafs between tlie Maritime

Colonies and Catiada we have added, as an Appentlix

to this Collc(ftion, a particular Map of thefe Parts done

Irom Adual Survey.
