Notes:

A variant which is possibly a later issue put together when stocks of the plates had run low. It includes 11 plates but the images correspond to only five in the list of the 3rd ed. The six remaining plates have different maps (three) and views (three) which appear to be taken from the 1st ed. In total, eight plates are taken from the 1st ed. (1773) which are numbered but without caption titles.

"Illustrated with cuts and charts, relative to countries now first discovered, or hitherto but imperfectly known."
