17953732This is the first general history of Maine written in the post-Revolutionary War time period that saw several state histories published including those by Belknap Jefferson and Ramsay. Despite its distinctly chilly initial reception and the less than impressive editorial standards Sullivan's <i>History</i>is a cornerstone work in any collection of Maine material. <p>The <i>History</i>includes as the frontispiece Osgood Carleton's <i>A Map of the District of Maine Drawn from the latest Surveys and other best Authorities by Osgood Carleton</i>. The map measuring 20 5/16 x 16 3/8" includes an inset titled <i>A Map of those parts of the Country most famous for being harassed sic by the Indians</i>. Carleton's map was the most detailed done of Maine to that time. </p><p>At the head of the title page is an inscription which has been lined out: "For D.

17763748<b>Striking Casco Bay Chart from the Atlantic Neptune 1776</b><br /><br />This is an exceptional chart of the coast of Maine between Cape Elizabeth and Popham from the early Revolutionary War period. It is from Des Barres' monumental <i>Atlantic Neptune</i> a sea atlas published by the British Admiralty during the last quarter of the 18th century. The <i>Atlantic Neptune</i> has been called "the most splendid collection of charts plans and views ever published." <br /><br />The present chart includes all of Casco Bay naming the larger islands and extends east to include Seguin "Segevin Island" and Georgetown Islands. Among the numerous geographic features named are Great Jebieg Chebeague Merrymeeting Bay Segadahock River Arrowsick Island and Halfway Road i.e. Rock. Roads are shown on the chart as are individual buildings. <br /><br />The chart is dated July___ 1776 i.e. with a prominent space after the month as if a date were going to be inserted. There is no type-stamped "15" at the upper right as called for in some copies of state "b" of the Stevens Catalogue. <br /><br />The chart was folded into four vertical panels about 30 1/4 x 12" to accommodate being "bound up in tall narrow form" Stevens' Catalogue p. vii. The chart paper has the LVG watermark consistent with the earlier issues of the chart. <br />A scarce early state of a desirable chart. <br /><br /><b>References:</b> Stevens <i>Catalogue of the Atlantic Neptune</i>: 105 State: b. Sellers & Van Ee <i>Maps and Charts of North America and the West Indies</i> 1750-1789: 855. <br /><br /><b>Condition: </b>A wonderfully clean example of a striking chart of Casco Bay.<br /><br />ICN 3763.
