Additional Details



First published in 1775, this enlarged third edition is considered the best and seems to be more scarce than the first. Includes descriptions of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and parts of New England during the French and Indian War. "Valuable as exhibiting a view of the colonies immediately preceding the Revolutionary War"--Sabin 9359; Howes B995; Clark II:7.
