PLAN OF QUEBEC MORE, THOMAS; pseudonym. Poor Thomas Improved. Being More's Country Almanac . . . 1760. Full-page illustration titled Plan of Quebeck City, and its Harbour. 24 leaves. 8vo, stitched self-wrappers; first 3 leaves defective with some loss, other chips, browning. New York, [1759]
One of the earliest plans of Quebec to be printed in America. Wheat & Brun cite a newspaper and 2 almanac printings of this plan (mistakenly identifying this almanac as Roger More's American Country Almanack). This issue of the plan contains trees in the bottom left corner and the reference F at the end of the city wall. The explanations of the references and a brief historical account appear on the facing page. Drake 5727 (who also cites a second edition, but with no indication of the differences between the two); Evans 8422; Wheat & Brun 84.
