Although bearing a copyright date of 24 August 1787, Dalrymple published this facsimile of part of the “Harleian map” only after Sir Joseph Banks had given the original to the BM, as per the facsimile’s title and the date added to the descriptive passage, of 22 February 1790 (Cook 1993, 3.2:1296, no. B533). The original map is now BL Add MS 5413; because it bears the arms of the future Henry II of France, some historians have called it the “Dauphin map.” Copper engraving, 48 × 63 cm.

This printed map, with manuscript emendations to the tile—the correction of “Townships” for “Lotts” was made on all impressions that I’ve seen; that of “Genl.
