Note 780 — Chapter V · (continued 2)

Carter-Brown, ii. no. 972; Griswold, no. 982; Barlow’s Rough List, no. 593; Brinley, ii. no. 3,842; Sabin, iii. no. 10,961; Rich (1832), no. 338, £1 16s.; Menzies, no. 334. Quaritch priced it in 1885 (no. 29,505) at £12 12s., and it has since been placed at £18 18s. The map referred to is reproduced by Dr. Hawks in his North Carolina (i. p. 37) with a reprint of the tract itself; but a better reproduction is in Gay’s Popular Hist. of the United States (ii. 285). Carroll also reprints the text in his Historical Collections (ii. p. 9), but he omits the map as “very incorrect,” not appreciating the fact that the incorrectness of early maps is an index of contemporary ideas, with which the historian finds it indispensable to deal.
