With Curious Maps of the Several Places, Done from the Newest Surveys. By Herman Moll, Geographer (2 Volumes, Complete) Publication: London: John Nicholson, 1708 Description: Full Leather. Very Good binding. Octavo. xxxviii, [2], 412; [2], 382, [2 (ads)], [32 (index)] pp., maps. First edition. Contemporary paneled-calf boards with modern reback. Title page to Volume 1 and four of the eight maps are lacking but are supplied in tasteful facsimile. The maps in facsimile are the North America, New England, Virginia and Maryland, and Carolina. Bindings are solid and presently nicely; contents are clean and bright; but for the maps and title page, this is an exceptional set. Of this work, William Reese writes: "This basic 18th-century reference work on British America . . . offers an excellent comprehensive survey of Great Britain's American colonies, at the point when those on the mainland of North America had grown past their initial phase and were expanding rapidly in population and productivity. . . . This important contemporary work would probably have been the first point of reference for any Englishman at the time" Reese, Struggle for North America, 1. Usually attributed to Oldmixon who penned the dedication, but occasionally gets attributed to Moll according to Sabin. A significant work by the British historian. Howes O-61, "aa"; European Americana 1708/95; ESTC T45485; Sabin 57156.
