CONTAINS SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT PLACE NAMES IN AMERICA, INCLUDING
CANADA, ARCADIA, AND OCHELAY (MONTREAL). IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 16th

REFLECTING ITS WEALTH, THE COSMOPOLITAN ENTERPRISE OF ITS
INHABITANTS, AND THE EXCELLENT WORKMANSHIP OF ITS ENGRAVERS.

VENICE, WHERE MOST MAPS OF AN INTERNATIONAL CHARACTER WERE
