This map illustrates the discoveries of eighteenth century exploration in the Pacific. Part of the southern coast of Australia is conjectural, and Diemans Land is still connected to the mainland, which wasn't disproved until Flinders and Bass circumnavigated Tasmania in 1798-99. Numerous other islands in the South Pacific are only partially delineated. The northwest coast of North America also depicts recent discoveries, with several small gaps in the coastline. This map was originally published by Alexander Hogg in A New, Complete, and Universal Collection of … Voyages and Travels… Engraved by T. Conder.
