Handsome chart with large and decorative cartouche. This is the later edition noted as State 6 by Pedley. The chart adds several elements including I. Shelrock, the Bermuda's, and cities along the east coast: New York, Newport, and Delaware. It also improves the configuration of the Great Lakes after d'Anville (previous states after Bellin). Large inset shows the northwest region with much of the mythical cartography of the day including Lake de Fonte and waterways to the Great Lakes.
