NOTE. This map is a french translation of one of the most notable maps of the time. While the french edition is given in this list, the original english impression, published in 1755, is not mentioned. It has been quoted and reproduced in all the boundary disputes that have occurred with foreign countries.

A life of the author, John Mitchell, is found in Dictionary of national biography.
The original title reads as follows:

"A map of the British and French dominions in North America, with the roads,
distances, limits, and extent of the settlements. Humbly inscribed to the right
honourable the earl of Halifax, and the other right honourable the lords commissioners N
for trade & plantations. By their lordships most obliged and very humble servant
Jno Mitchell. Thos. Kitchin, sculp. English miles 694 to a degree. 52} x 761.
London, printed for Jefferys & Faden. Publish'd by the author Feby 13th, 1755.
"This map was undertaken with the approbation and at the request of
the lords commissioners for trade and plantations; and is chiefly composed
from draughts, charts and actual surveys of different parts of his majesties colo-
nies & plantations in America; great part of which have been lately taken by
their lordships orders, and transmitted to this office, by the governors of the said
colonies and others. John Pownall, secretary. Plantation office, feb 13th
1755".

Besides this french edition as described in the title, the Library of Congress
has a copy of the first french impression in eight sheets with this title:
"Amérique Septentrionale avec les routes, distances en miles, limites et établissements
françois et anglois. Par le docteur Mitchel traduit de l'anglois à Paris. Par le
Rouge ing? géographe du roy rue des Grands Augustins, 1756."77

A copy of the impression, with french and german title is found in Roch-Joseph
Julien's Théâtre du monde, 1768, described in Phillips' List of Geographical
Atlases, title 641.

The Library of Congress has also in separate form the same impression "Corigée / ‹
en 1776 par m. Hawkins Brigadier des armées du Roi." Also the impression of
1783 found in George Louis Le Rouge, Atlas Amériquain Septentrional, 1778–
[1792] described in Phillips' List of Geographical Atlases, title 1212.

In a collection of maps by Jean Cóvens and Corneille Mortier, recently acquired,
which will be described in a supplementary list to Phillips' List of Geograph-
ical Atlases, is an english impression entitled "A map of the british and french
dominions in North America, with the roads, distances, limits, and extent of the
settlements, by Jno Mitchell D. F. with improvements—at Amsterdam, printed for
I. Cóvens and C. Mortier." Most of the descriptive text and the inset entitled,
"A new map of Hudson's bay and Labrador from the late surveys of those coasts,"
found in all the other editions are omitted. This dutch imprint edition con-
tains the three following insets not found in other impressions.

[1] Plan of la ville de Québec.

[2] Plan du port et ville de Louisbourg, dans l'Isle Royale.

[3] Plan of the town of Halifax in Nova Scotia.

For a reduced impression of this map consult title 596 under Le Rouge.

An interesting french map which is here well worth noting is entitled, “Carte
des possessions françoises et angloises dans le Canada, et partie de la Louisiane.
À Paris, chés le sieur Longchamps, géographe, rue Saint Jaques, à l'enseigne de
la place des Victoires, C. P. R. 1756."

It has an inset entitled, "suplément pour les possessions françoises et angloises
au sud de la Louisiane. Gravé par Chambon." The whole map measures
within the border, 21 x 30 inches.

LC 428

NOTE. A copy of this work containing the map is in the Library of Congress. In the life of Michel Venegas, 1680-1764, in Backer's Bibliothèque de la compagnie de Jésu. . . v. 8, pp. 558-561, is this title:

"La carte de la Californie, du t. 1 est gravée par Is. Peña; les trois du t. III sont
gravées la 1re par le P. Konsag, les deux autres par Manuel Rodriguez.”
The map is taken from Anson's A voyage round the world, published in 1748.
A reproduction entitled, "A chart of the Pacific Ocean" is found in A. E.
Nordenskiöld's Periplus, p. 191. Also in the Kohl collection, numbers 290 and
291. The following is a manuscript border description relating to the map
from number 290 of this collection:

"George Anson on his famous circumnavigation of the Globe captured as is
well known, the Spanish Manilla 'Galeon Nuestra Señora de Cabadonga' in the
Chinese Waters at the end of the year 1742. He found in her immense treas-
ures, and amongst her papers also a Spanish map of the Northern Pacific Ocean.
"The Original of this map appears unhappily to be lost to us. But after the short
description, which Anson gave of it, it seems to have comprised a picture of the
whole Northern Pacific as high as 394° N. L. It was probably one of those
