In the Ellis sale, London, Nov., 1885, no. 232, was a map, Novi Belgii, Novæque Angliæ necnon partis Virginiæ tabulæ, multis in locis emendata a Nicolas Visschero (Amsterdam, about 1651), which had belonged to William Penn, and was indorsed by him, “The map by which the Privy Council, 1685, settled the bounds between Lord Baltimore and I, and Maryland, Pennsylvania and Territorys or annexed Countys.—W. P.” Franklin printed (1733) the articles of agreement between Maryland and Pennsylvania, and again (1736) with additional matter. In 1737 and 1742 he printed the proclamations against the armed invaders from Maryland. Cf. Catal. of Works relating to B. Franklin, in Boston Public Library (1883), pp. 29, 36.

[647] “A new map of Virginia, humbly dedicated to ye Right Honble Thomas Lord Fairfax, 1738,” in Keith’s Virginia. The Map of the most inhabited part of Virginia by Joshua Fry and Peter Jefferson, 1751, published in London by Jeffreys, is the best known map of this period. The map which was engraved for Jefferson’s Notes on Virginia, 1787, which showed the country from Albemarle Sound to Lake Erie, was for the region east of the Alleghanies, based on Fry and Jefferson, and on Scull’s Map of Pennsylvania, “which was constructed chiefly on actual survey,” while that portion west of the mountains is taken from Hutchins. A fac-simile of this map is in the Notes which accompany the second volume of the Dinwiddie Papers.
There is a map of the Chesapeake and Delaware bays in Bowen’s Geography, 1747.
[648] There are two copies of this in Harvard College library. Cf. map of Maryland in London Mag., 1757.
