Description
A version of this map appeared in A new system of modern geography, volume 2, page 231, but the catalogue entry for RB 90030, dated 1794 (in which the map is lacking), notes that today the maps are rarely found bound in copies of The new system. Detail along the southern coast of Baffin Bay suggests a later date of publication. MS notes: 920 1801. Prime meridian: London. Relief: pictorial. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Watermark: Crowned shield, G? S. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: MS note: British on North.
