Note 435 — Chapter VI

Reading edition

On the variations found in ten different impressions of the map, see Winsor, in the Memorial History of Boston, i. 52 [where a section of it, with the portrait of Smith, is given in heliotype. A reduced heliotype of the whole map is given herewith. Hulsius, when he translated Smith’s book for his voyages, made an excellent reproduction of the map, which appears in three of his sections. The earliest of the modern reproductions was that in 3 Mass. Hist. Coll., iii. Palfrey has given it, reduced by photolithography, but not very satisfactorily, in his New England, i. 95. It was re-engraved by Swett in 1865 for Veazie’s edition of the Description, and the plate was subsequently altered to correspond with later states of the original plate, and in this condition appears in Jenness’s Isles of Shoals. It is reduced from this re-engraving in Bryant and Gay’s United States, i. 518.—Ed.]
