Pub Note:
Title page dated 1755 but a few sheets are newer, as late as 1763. Color. Maps either in French or English. Of special note is the Map titled Possessions Angloises & Francoises du Continent de l'Amerique Septentrionale - a very interesting derivation of the John Mitchell Map of the British and French Dominions in North America, 1757 - see our 2842.000. This issue of the Amerique Septentrionale map has the title date changed from 1755 to 1763 in manuscript, and the French possessions are reduced to the Louisiana Territory and islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which might indicate that it was manually updated to show the results of the conclusion of the French and Indian War in 1763. The map was first issued in 1755 and went through several states.
