maps were also published in two other forms: in "A Complete
Atlas" of 1752, and as the Maps for the "Complete Collection of
Voyages" by John Harris, in 1744-48 (M&B). The text is massive
and interesting, and there are several important maps of
America: America, West Indies, Mexico, Louisiana, Carolina,
Virginia, Pennsylvania et al, and Newfoundland et al. The map of
the World in Hemispheres is lacking in this copy. Both volumes

spine in gilt.
