The work was sufficiently in demand to justify 37 legitimate editions from 1689 to 1794 and three pirated editions. All editions are rare. During the history of this title its charts underwent numerous changes. The first edition contained only 18 maps whereas this 1794 final edition contained 26."The English Pilot was the first major sea-atlas produced in England. In its final form it consisted of five separate books and The Fourth Book was the first wholly English sea-atlas of American waters. Although the idea originated with John Seller he was involved in producing only the first two books. William Fisher and John Thornton produced The Fourth Book in 1689 and their successors Mount and Page continued to print it for over 100 years Seller's proposal for a 'Sea Waggoner' resulted in the production of The English Pilot which consisted of five separate volumes with a common generic title. Book One included the southern navigation and Book Two the northern. Book Three was concerned with the Orient Book Four with America and Book Five contained Africa. Each book or volume has its own independent publishing history and appeared in numerous editions. The five separate books constitute a set only by virtue of the general title and under that title The English Pilot is the first great sea-atlas produced in England. Of the five books the fourth has the longest publication history and is the best known" Verner p. v.Throughout its history The Fourth Book showed very few changes in textual matter and the content of the volume was established between the editions of 1706 and 1721.The present example of the 1794 edition is complete and contains the following maps see Verner pp. xv-xx for full list of editions and charts from 1689 to 1794:1.
