"One of the most important printed maps of America ever produced and certainly one of the greatest influence. . . It, therefore, was seen widely and inspired much interest in the fledgling Virginia colony, influencing considerably its eventual success. Consequently the east coast of North America became dominated by the English." -- Burden 164; Verner's State 10 (of 12).
