Uncolored map of the world published for the New Encyclopedia. Excellent condition with typical very light soiling and wear. This was a later issue of a map first included in John Payne's New and Complete Universal Geography in 1798. The features and place names are very similar to, with a handful of additions, those used on Morse's Chart of the World from his 1796 Universal Geography. The most prevalent additions are the tracks of explorers, most notably Cook. These include a line at Hawaii (Owhyhee) noting Cook's death there. Engraved by Rollinson. See Wheat & Brun 39 for the earlier issue. Seller Inventory # m01797
