London: C.Cooke, 1793 Undated circa 1793. The content based on information received up until 1793. 6+990pp+2 - 88 plates, 22 maps. Whilst the scope purports to be the genuine history and description of the Whole World, such was the importance of Cook's discoveries that the first 106pp incorporating 25 plates and three maps is taken up with Cook's voyages. To this is included a particular description of the improved state of the New Colony formed at Port Jackson and Norfolk Island, where the convicts are now settled, and an account of the excursions and discoveries made in the interior parts of New Holland. Altogether this is a gargantuan production with stunning plates and maps. Contemporary full calf, superbly rebacked with the original spine relaid. Photographs available on request.

New York: J.H. Colton, 1864. Brown pebbled cloth cover stamped in blind and gilt is in pristine condition. 82 x 110 cm unfolded; 10 x 16 cm folded. Full original hand coloring on onion-skin paper. Very Good. Professionally repaired tear around section attaching to the board, and extending beneath the cartouche (hardly noticeable from the front), minor spotting beneath the cartouche. Note that this is not backed with linen as some folding maps are; the paper is nearly onion skin and while not brittle is fragile. We do not recommend that it be flattened for framing. A highly important folding pocket map to be used in the field during the Civil War, in extraordinary condition. LC Civil War Maps 48.2. OCLC lists only five locations for the 1864 edition: LC, Yale, Penn State, Library of Virginia and Wake Forest. Americana Exchange records only one auction record in the last 15 years, and only two before that.
