North America in antique maps, 1440-1865 : an historical atlas composed of 300 reproductions of works by contemporary cartographers : issued as an aid to research and with an introduction to cartography

"This book is a collection of reproductions of some 300 old maps dating back to 1440 and drafted by contempory cartographers. Mostly they are in the English language but a few are in French, Spanish, or German. Some are formerly inscribed to respective governmental heads. Collectively they give a summary of the best knowledge of the areas at the time--a wealth of data not otherwise available in organized fashion to students, teachers and reference librarians. They are published here especially as an aid to research but contain much valuable general information"-- Pref. and Introd.
