Notes

Plate 59 from unidentified source. Includes following notation, "We think it proper to Inform ye curious Reader, that in laying down ye Coast & boundaries of ye British Empire in America, as well as that of Louisiana Canada or New France, Recourse has been had to all ye Surveys & most Authentick Charts & Maps hitherto Published: But more particularly, to Monsr. Bellin's Maps of Canada Louisiana &c. drawn by him for ye Use of P. Charlevoix's History of New France; and as our Maps of these parts, differ considerably from most others, this difference must be principally attributed to our relying on Monsr. Bellin's Authority."Plate 59 from unidentified source.
