A very scarce little map issued during the French and Indian War. The map is based on the map of the same title published by Herbert and Sayer for the Society of Anti-Gallicans in 1755. The map is a striking example of how maps were used for propaganda and illustrates by far the most pro-British representation of land claims in North America. The only French possessions on the continent are squeezed into the region, labeled Canada, along the St. Laurence River between Montreal and Tadoussac, and Anticosti, Prince Edward and Cape Breton Island and the north shore of Newfoundland. Published in the October 1758 edition of Grand Magazine of Universal Intelligence.
