1800WRCAM52103London: R. Laurie and J. Whittle 1800. Engraved map sheet size approximately 21 x 34 3/4 inches. Backed with linen. Mid-19th-century ownership inscription near title. A few small chips and minor closed tears at edges light soiling and scattered faint foxing. Very good. Framed. An extremely scarce nautical chart of Boston Harbor from the second edition of the important 18th-century American atlas the NORTH AMERICAN PILOT. The chart depicts the state of the harbor just after the start of the Revolution having been reprinted from the first edition published in 1776 and 1777. The Boston peninsula and the "Ruins of Charlestown" are located in the west / far left of the chart area which follows the mainland coast as far south as Dorchester and Milton and out to Point Shirley and the Shirley Cut to the northeast in the upper center of the image; the Hull peninsula and Point Allerton are also visible in the lower right-hand quadrant of the map. In the center of the chart are the numerous islands that dot Boston Harbor as well as depth measurements and clearly marked shallow areas such as the shoals formerly known as the Dorchester Flats now a populated area of reclaimed land. Additionally there are a number of guidelines showing the best routes through the harbour to various points and markings for various points on land to aid in navigation. <br> <br> The second edition of the PILOT contained seven more maps than the first for a total of seventeen charts of which this plan of Boston Harbor was the seventh. The first edition was published by Robert Sayer and John Bennett who were succeeded by Laurie and Whittle before the publication of this atlas. The original chart engravings were executed by Thomas Jefferys. Rare in any form or edition OCLC traces only one copy of this individual map from the 1800 printing located at the State Library of Massachusetts. OCLC 843954569. PHILLIPS ATLASES 1220 ref.

It is "a matter of astonishment" that such deceptions have been at all successful. The characters and careers of Gisborne and Smith are notable for frauds and dishonor. The Boston Merchants should abandon their association with these men and end their "complicity" with the "swindle."<br/>OCLC 63998547 1- Cornell 191283024 1- AAS as of April 2020. unknown books
