Lawson’s book was accompanied by a map, and a part of it, giving the North Carolina coast, is reproduced by Dr. Hawks (ii. 103). Mr. Deane’s copy has the map. Prof. F. M. Hubbard, writing in 1860 in the North American Review, said, “We know after much inquiry of the existence of only four copies in this country. About 1820, a copy then thought to be unique was offered for sale at auction in North Carolina and brought nearly sixty dollars.” The book now is less rare than this writer supposed.
