It consists of four small volumes in William Amherst's handwriting, which is, for the most part, well preserved and easily read. It covers the period from 16th March 1758, the day of Amherst's departure from England for Nova Scotia, to 8th September, 1760, the day Montreal surrendered. The author's close association with his brother Jeffery, Commander-in-Chief in America, gives additional value to his most interesting personal record. His account of the Siege of Louisbourg is one of the most important which has been written by a participant in the campaign." - Foreword. pp. [2 frontis], 82.

Condizione: Fine. Capt. Samuel Holland (illustratore). About the map:This is an importonat map of New England, of particular note for its insets of: A plan of the City of New York, A chart of the Mouth of Hudson's River, and A Plan of Amboy.About the work:This rare, historic map is Thomas Jefferys's The American Atlas; or, a Geographical Description of the Whole Continent of America; Wherein are Delineated at Large its Several Regions, Countries, States, and Islands; and Chiefly the British Colonies. The map was published in London in 1775 by R. Sayer and J. Bennett.Robert Sayer and John Bennett were Jefferys's successors and compiled this 1775 edition of The American Atlas. It is considered the most important 18th century atlas of America, showing the colonies at the time of the American Revolution.Ristow noted of the atlas that it was a "geographical description of the whole continent of America, as portrayed in the best available maps in the latter half of the eighteenth century . as a major cartographic reference work it was, very likely, consulted by American, English, and French civilian administrators and military officers during the Revolution."The atlas was of particular note for including Brassier's map of Lake Champlain, Braddock Meade's 'A Map of the Most Inhabited Parts of New England' (largest and most detailed to that date), Samuel Holland's 'The Provinces of New York and New Jersey', William Scull's 'A Map of Pennsylvania' (first to include the western portion), Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson's 'A Map of the Most Inhabited Part of Virginia' (best to date for the Chesapeake Region), Lt. Ross's 'Course of the Mississippi' (first chart of the river based on English sources), and 'A new Map of the Province of Quebec'.Thomas Jefferys (1719-1771) was a leading English cartographer. He produced some of the most significant maps of the English / American colonies and the early American landscape. He was the appointed Geographer to the Prince of Wales and eventually to the King (1761). His official appointments granted him access to some of the very best surveys and were often considered "official work" for England. --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall.
