Kashnor notes, " The first edition of Norman's Pilot, and excessively rare." Eleven charts bound together. "The Pilot was reissued in 1794 and 1798 by William Norman, of which only the 1798 issue was known to Sabin. This only contains nine charts. There is no bibliographic record of another copy of this first issue of 1791." McCorkle refers to this edition also. See submaps.. Printing Process: Letterpress . References: McCorkle 791.4.
