NOTE.-A copy of the atlas from which this map is taken is in the Library of
Congress and will be described in a supplement to the List of Geographical
Atlases. This atlas is the same as Matthew Seutter's Atlas minor, in title-
page, text and maps, with the exception of the fact that Lotter's Atlas minor
contains 11 more maps than Seutter's. The date 1744 assigned to this atlas
is found in the text under the heading "Germania." Besides those of Lotter,
many of the maps were made by Matthew and Albert Carl Seutter. The
Seutter atlas is the earlier edition.

This map is a reduced impression of the map described in titles 317 and 330.

The Library of Congress has two impressions of this latin edition of Delisle's
map, both containing the "Annotatio" below the "Scala." One copy has the
imprint "apud Tobiam Conr: Lotter Calcographum." The other is in Tobias
Conrad Lotter's Atlas novus, 1756? This impression has the imprint "apud
Tobiam Conr. Lotter Geogr. et Calcogr." The original edition of 1700 has the
"Avertissement" in a cartouche under the scale. The latest date found in this
atlas is 1740 in the cartouche to the map entitled "Borussiæ Regnum." The
following are reasons for dating this atlas as above:

Matthäus Seutter died in 1756. One son Albrecht Carl, and two daughters
survived him. One of these daughters married Tobias Conrad Lotter in 1740;
the other married Georg Balthazar Probst, the engraver. The firm, after
Seutter's death was continued for a short time by his son, Lotter and Probst.
The son died and Probst retired leaving Lotter the head of the firm. T. C.
Lotter was born in 1717 and worked for Seutter from the time he married his
daughter. His son, Matthäus Albrecht Lotter, born 1741, succeeded his father
in 1777.

Nagler, in his Kunstler lexicon, gives a notice of a Johann Balthasar Probst,
b. 1673, d. 1748, who was a pupil of J. Wolff, whose daughter he married. Jere-
mias Wolff died at Augsburg in 1724 in the 51st year of his age.
This edition contains the "Avertissement", or in latin "Annotatio", in a car-
touche underneath the scale.

NOTE. This map is taken from "Atlas minor sive geographia compendiosa, qua
orbis terrarum per paucas attamen novissimas tabulas ostenditur Amsteladami ex

du monde, receuillies, des meilleurs auteurs, et assemblées d'une manierre abregée

A copy of this atlas, the latest date of which is 1717 contained in one of the
maps, is in the collection of the Library of Congress and will be described in
the Supplemental List of Geographical Atlases.

It is based upon the map of N. Visscher entitled: "Novissima et accuratissima
totius America descriptio," an impression of which is found in his "Atlas con-
tractus orbis terrarum" published previous to 1675.

This was reproduced with the title: "Novissima et accuratissima totius America
descriptio per F. de Wit Amstelodami." Consult title 499 in Phillips' List of
Geographical Atlases, under 1688?

Winsor, in his Narrative and critical history of America, v. 5, p. 81, states that
this map was issued in 1732 and reissued in 1733 and 1740. In p. 474, he
states also that the ms. draft dated 1727 is in the British Museum, manuscripts
no. 23,615, (folio 72)

On sheet 20 of this map there is a certificate signed by Edmund Halley to
this effect:

"Mr. Popple undertook this map with the Approbation of the Right Honour able the Lords Commissioners of Trade and Plantations; and great Care has been taken by comparing all the Maps, Charts, and Observations that could be found, especially the Authentick Records & Actual Surveys transmitted to their Lordships, by the Governors of the British Plantations, and Others, to correct the many Errors commited in former Maps, and the Original Drawing of This having been shewn to the Learned Dr. Edmund Halley, Professor of Astronomy in the University of Oxford, and F. R. S. he was pleased to give his Opinion of it in the Words following:

"I have seen the abovementioned Map, which as far as I am Judge, seems to have been laid down with great Accuracy, and to shew the Position of the different Provinces & Islands in that Part of the Globe more truly than any yet extant.
