It has the same insets; the title differs as follows: An Accurate Map of North America. Describing and distinguishing the British, Spanish, and French Dominions on this great Continent; According to the Definitive Treaty Concluded at Paris 10th Feb'y, 1763. Also all the West India Islands Belonging to, and possessed by the Several European Princes and States. The whole laid down according to the latest and most authentick Improvements.

Consult Phillips' List of Geographical Atlases, title 643, and supplemental volume. Only one impression in the Library of Congress is dated, and that in separate form "Printed for Robert Sayer No. 53 Fleet Street as the Act Directs 2d July, 1772." Most of these impressions have slight additions and eliminations. The Library of Congress has an impression of this map which shows various alterations and changes. The inset of California by Kino is omitted and is Bowen, Emanuel-Continued. replaced by another, entitled "A Map of the Country between Montreal, Albany and Oswego." The size is about the same. The cartouche is different and Bowen's and Gibson's names are omitted. The title within the cartouche is as follows: “North America, and the West Indies; a New Map, Wherein the British Empire and its Limits, according to the Definitive Treaty of Peace, in 1763, are accurately described, and the Dominions Possessed by the Spaniards, the French, & other European States. The whole Compiled from all the New Surveys, and Authentic Memoirs, that have hitherto appeared.'
