Engr. map, 300 X 490, some very light hand-colouring. [Usually offered with an accompanying map 'A draft of the Golden and Adjacent Islands with part of ye Isthmus of Darien' also by Senex.] The above map is a later issue by Senex of a map issued in 1699 by Robert Hacke and Robert Morden. Senex removed the earlier imprints and changed the dedication from Lord John Sommers to John Haldane. The above map shows the location of the ill-fated Scottish colony of New Edinburgh (popularly known as the Darien Scheme) founded by the Company of Scotland. The dedication to John Haldane of Gleneagles, which appears on the map which usually accompanies this one, is an acknowlegement of his role as a director of the Company of Scotland.
