A New Map Of The Province Of Lower Canada, Describing all the Seigneuries, Townships, Grants of Land, &c. Compiled from Plans deposited in the Patent Office Quebec; By Samuel Holland, Esq.

List No
10753.001
Note
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)

This is the James Wyld reissue of William Faden's original 1807 edition of this map (see our 6388.000), updated in some areas showing the new railroads as of about 1860, hence the date estimated at 1860 - there is no date on the map. A huge map comprising 8 printed sheets, here assembled into four large dissected sheets. This was probably the final edition. Faden had issued a second and possibly third edition before Wyld took over the Faden map business in 1823. Six different scales provided. A compilation based on many reputable sources, as itemized on the South East sheet. Relief shown in hachures.

Dissected in north and south sheets, each in 30 sections. This map is a reduction and reissue of Wyld's famous 1824 Map of North America (Stevens and Tree 63 - four editions from 1824 to 1856) - it does not have the top sheet showing the Arctic, it moves the title from the lower left to middle right (and changes title of course), and it updates some of the western geography, showing the Tule Lakes in California, Fremont's or South Pass, Fts Hall and Boise and the Oregon Trail. However, it keeps the outdated topography of the Great Basin and California used in the 1824 edition - the two large rivers running from the interior of the basin to the Pacific, and the mountain ranges running almost east to west instead of north to south in the basin. Nonetheless, it is a very beautiful map in the best of Wyld's cartographic style. Two insets in the lower right and left, of North America and Islands in the Pacific Ocean (both of which appear in the small General Atlas). Map comes from the family of Kit Carson's clerk. Has paste down catalogue. Wheat 658 (1849) is listed in our copy of Radford's Catalogue, 1975. Though smaller, it is likely derived from this map. With outline color. Sheets fold with marbled end sheets into original brown cloth slip case 25x15.5 with label reading "Canada Mexico &c. United States" (ms) and "James Wyld, Geographer To Her Majesty.

This map is a reduction and reissue of Wyld's famous 1824 Map of North America (Stevens and Tree 63 - four editions from 1824 to 1856) - it does not have the top sheet showing the Arctic, it moves the title from the lower left to middle right (and changes title of course), and it updates some of the western geography, showing the Tule Lakes in California, Fremont's or South Pass, Fts Hall and Boise and the Oregon Trail. However, it keeps the outdated topography of the Great Basin and California used in the 1824 edition - the two large rivers running from the interior of the basin to the Pacific, and the mountain ranges running almost east to west instead of north to south in the basin. Nonetheless, it is a very beautiful map in the best of Wyld's cartographic style. Two insets in the lower right and left, of North America and Islands in the Pacific Ocean (both of which appear in the small General Atlas). Map comes from the family of Kit Carson's clerk. Has paste down catalogue. Wheat 658 (1849) is listed in our copy of Radford's Catalogue, 1975. Though smaller, it is likely derived from this map. With outline color. Sheets fold with marbled end sheets into original brown cloth slip case 25x15.5 with label reading "Canada Mexico &c. United States" (ms) and "James Wyld, Geographer To Her Majesty. Charing Cross, East ..."

The first edition, listed in Phillips but not by Stevens and Tree or Wheat (both list 1824/25 as the first edition). A large impressive map showing with great accuracy the recent discoveries in the north west passage, but wildly off in the American southwest - Wheat: "a large and beautiful map, excellent in all respects save for its southwestern geography." In the southwest, Wyld adds many mountain ranges that were purely speculative - probably just to fill in blank spaces in the map (unlike Arrowsmith). In northwestern Texas is a curious note on the topography of the area attributed to "Mellish" which is copied from a pre-1822 edition of his large map of the United States. Comparing this edition to the derived map of 1846, "Mexico, the British Possessions...," one sees many changes in the northern areas and few in the southwest. Stevens and Tree list editions of 1824, 1827/8, 1838, and 1851/56. The 1824/25 edition adds a fold out flap of Mexico and Central America (WH copy). With outline color. Map is dissected into 24 sections and mounted on linen. Map folds into a brown marbled paper covered slip case with black leather spine with "Map Of North America" stamped in gilt.

This is the James Wyld reissue of William Faden's original 1807 edition of this map (see our 6388.000), updated in some areas showing the new railroads as of about 1860, hence the date estimated at 1860 - there is no date on the map. A huge map comprising 8 printed sheets, here assembled into four large dissected sheets. This was probably the final edition. Faden had issued a second and possibly third edition before Wyld took over the Faden map business in 1823. Six different scales provided. A compilation based on many reputable sources, as itemized on the South East sheet. Relief shown in hachures.

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)
