The first edition was 1802, with later editions in 1813, 1829, 1838, 1840 and 1843. Shows Canada from just west of Montreal east to St. John in New Brunswick. The 1802 edition was based on surveys made by Samuel Holland before his death in 1801. This was a companion map (although on a larger scale) to the David Smyth/Faden/Wyld map of Upper Canada, first issued in 1800 (see our copies). With outline color. See our 5065.000 for the 1838 edition. "Important map of the Lower Province of Canada, including information concerning over 100 land grants on either side of the St. Lawrence River, including the names of Land Owners. The map has been updated to show the surveys conducted in 1796-98 along the Scoudiac and Magaguadavic Rivers, in order to ascertain the true location of the St. Croix River. This second article of the Treaty of Peace between the US and Britain included a line...From the northwest angle of Nova Scotia, viz., that angle which is formed by a line drawn due north from the source of St. Croix River to the highlands… It later became apparent that there was more than one St. Croix River, a further treaty provision in 1794 appointed a boundary comission, which detemined in 1798 that the intended St. Croix was the Schoodiac River and its northern branch Cheputnaticook. The Treaty of Ghent, concluded on December 24, 1814, agreed to provide for a final adjustment of the boundaries described in the Treaty of 1783 that had not yet been determined, which included the boundary line from the source of the River St. Croix to the most northwestern point of the Lake of the Woods. A further commission was appointe to settle the boundary from the St. Croix to the St. Lawrence. Joseph Bouchette and John Lawrence were hired to conduct the surveys and the reports submitted for resolution to a third nation and ulimately resolved by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842. A scarce and important map." (Ruderman, 2021)
