S I R, AS we undertook this Work Tor the ufe of the Military Gentlemen at your recommendation, we cannot but hope that the avowed patronage, of a perfon fo well informed in Geography, and having 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 complcat your idea ; we have flill rcalbn A 3 to ( vi ) to wifh this work could have been ren- dered more worthy of your patronage and acceptance, and that it might fhew in a manner adequate to our wiflies, the rcfped: and gratitude with which we have the honour to be, S I R, YOUR MOST n U M B L E AND DEVOTED SERVANTS. Fleet Jlrcet, 1776. THE EDITORS. ADVERTISEMENT. 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, and Bays, which form what is commonly called the West Indies ; thefe we confider as Introdudtory, and as giving a General Idea, and we trufl: a juft one. The next three Maps, which divide the Continent of Norik jimerica 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 Camdai Nova Scotia, and Nei^ England, have been adjufted bj Major 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. Fry and 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. 3 'CK>C.<>i>C<><>0<>i:. :^^^^^^ LIST of the MAPS. 1 i^ O R T H America. 2 The Weft Indies. 3 The Northt^rn Colonies. 4 The Middle Colonies. 5 The Southern Colonics. 6 Lake Champlain. <'>'><><>^'<>c><>o<>^^<:>^o-c><c.<>-:^^ jr, ite ... f 4 /A ^■|■:.rr.,nv.n.r/g;Ajgz.i»:U£AY.V>f-.\T//:y,v,... : ' ;w MroDLE British c; oionii^: s 1^ ,nl.nn,■?\^RGI^^A,^lAlm..\N]>TIlE])E^^^,ya..f:Ol^^TIEsJ Pen.\syia-ania-\xt)New}],-i;^^ 'fe lmprov<■dtroms,■^■^l,•,l.S„rr,;^^,made.lllerfl,ela^.'^ral■, '■^' ' va, Lake ^'^ niiu'-jMfj,^,,, c I ic W'-* '^f^'L4Kl O^i IRI^>^ I jj E R I Eh ^#^ ''nJut/^"^ )«--- ll ^^*.»*/ "^ /Hc*u Pff^^ ~/ ^/&/ "t\ ■' vie* i.A~? ^.. r N •j.iJUttJtKtjjiuAciJirudt.n'^i^ff- \ \'/o/,m ;,s J IL i' SriT Km !
