A new map of North America, from the latest authorities
Description
Printed map. "By John Cary, Engraver." "Published ... Decr. 1. 1806." Probably originally published in Cary's New Universal Atlas, 1808. Described in Catalogue of the National Map Collection, vol. 10, H2/1000-1806, p. 543: "This map shows the conception of North America at the beginning of the nineteenth century; though the outline of Canada is present, the delineation of the north is poor. English, American and Spanish possessions are coloured in red, green and yellow respectively. The map is evidently based on Arrowsmith's map of 1792. In all probability, the map is from Cary's New Universal Atlas, 1808, plate 51." Acquired as part of the Hodsoll Collection.
