DESCRIPTION : THIS RATHER CRUDELY DRAWN SMALL MAP COVERING FROM "C. DE TRAFALGAR"(CAPE HATTERAS) IN THE SOUTH TO ABOVE THE 40TH PARALLEL IS SIMILAR TO MALLET'S MAP OF THIS TITLE PUBLISHED IN VOL. 5, PAGE 289 IN A FIVE VOLUME ATLAS ENTITLED DESCRIPTION DE L'UNIVERS..., PARIS, D. THIERRE, 1683 (SEE MAP # 183M5), ALTHOUGH THE EARLIER EDITION IS SLIGHTLY LARGER IN HEIGHT AND NARROWER AND APPARENTLY IS FROM A DIFFERENT PLATE. ONLY A SINGLE TOWN, POMEJOK, IS IDENTIFIED. A NUMBER OF INDIAN TRIBE NAMES, TAKEN FROM SMITH'S MAP (SEE MAP # 112S5) ARE SHOWN. THE SECOND EDITION OF THIS MAP FIRST APPEARED IN MALLET'S DESCRIPTION DE L'UNIVERS..., FRANCKFURT, DAVID JEAN ZUNNER, 1686. LATER IT APPEARED IN AN ATLAS ENTITLED BESCHREIBUNG DES GANTZEN WELTKREISES, FRANCKFURT, J.A. JUNG, 1719 (SEE MAP # 219M5). A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE TWO MAPS INDICATES THAT THEY WERE UNCHANGED EXCEPT FOR PLATE WEAR AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS TWO ISSUES OF THE SAME PLATE.

DATA IS FROM PERSONAL OBSERVATION OF THE COPIES IN THE HUNTINGFIELD COLLECTION AND FROM PHOTOCOPIES.
