The boundaries of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island are reasonably accurate, but "New Hampshire" applies to all of present-day New Hampshire and Vermont, and no attempt is made to show a boundary for an unnamed Maine. Included in the few coastal towns identified in Maine are Newcastle, Pentagoit and St. Saviours. The map bears a striking similarity -- though is somewhat larger than -- A Map of the British Plantations in North America that appeared in the London Magazine 36 years earlier. McCorkle, New England in Early Printed Maps, 1513-1800: 781.8. Jolly, Maps of America in Periodicals before 1800: 376. Sellers & Van Ee, Maps and Charts of North America and the West Indies, 1750-1789: 583. Kershaw, Early Printed Maps of Canada: 1013. Later outline color. Original fold lines. Light offsetting of text from opposite magazine page, about 3 x 3" in upper right corner; other minor offsetting. An attractive example. 10 1/2 x 13.".…
