Kashnor notes, "This expedition is commonly associated with the name of Ellis in consequence of his having written an account of it in his book, 'A Voyage to Hudson's Bay, by the Dobbs Galley and California,' 1748. He was nominally agent for the committee, but in reality hydrographer and surveyor. The net result of the expedition was the decision that the long-sought passage could not lie through Hudson's Bay. Sayer, the map maker, appears to have come into possession of the old plate, but this is the first issue of the map." Map contains notes regarding the exploration of several possible passages. Ships & whales.. Prime meridian: London. Relief: pictorial. Projection: Mercator. Watermark: Crowned fleur-di-lis VI. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Other Features: CartoucheVignettes.
