This is a reissue of the Jefferys map of 1758 with considerable alteration. New France is dropped from the title but "Part of New France" remains on the map itself. The scale is slightly different but may simply be differences in paper shrinkage. Stevens suggests this map was issued as a separate sometime between 1763 and 1768, then included as part of "A General Topography of North America", published by R. Sayer & T. Jeffereys in 1768. Submap: A sketch of the Remaining part of the Ohio R., &c. MS note: 18217. Prime meridian: London, Philadelphia. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: Stamped: VI. MS notes: Shelve with #18212 Evans, Lewis ; #18217.

This is an anonymous copy of the Jefferys map of 1758, completely re-engraved. The scale is slightly different and the cartouche lacks a decorative border. Stevens surmises this may have been a proof copy of a map to be issued by Thomas Bowles or John Bowles but held until peace negotiations were completed. The map was later issued ca. 1765 by John Bowles and Carington Bowles, see 18218. Submap: A sketch of the Remaining part of the Ohio R., &c. MS note: 18216. Prime meridian: London, Philadelphia. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: Stamped: V. MS notes: Shelve with #18212 Evans, Lewis ; #18216 ; (pirated issue, ca. 1760).

Rare Books
Map 18216 is an anonymous copy printed about 1760. That plate has now been modified by the inclusion of a border around the title, the elimination of New France from the title and map face and the addition of John and Carinton Bowles names just below the title. This adds credence to Stevens' thought that 18216 is a proof copy, never issued until this plate was completed. Carington Bowles apparently succeeded his uncle Thomas Bowles in 1764 or 1765. Submap: A sketch of the Remaining part of the Ohio R., &c. MS note: 18218. Prime meridian: London, Philadelphia. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: Stamped: VII. MS notes: Shelve with #18212 Evans, Lewis ; #18218.

This is a copy of the Kitchin map of 1756 with Kitchin's name altered to that of Jefferys, hence a plagairism of a plagairism of Evans map. Jefferys has added several new forts and has changed Kitchin's "F. du Quesne" to "Ft. du Quesne, Destroy'd in 1758 now called Pittsburg." Pownall in his later discussion thought this variant was first done by Thomas Jefferys. Submap: A sketch of the Remaining part of the Ohio R., &c. MS note: 18215. Prime meridian: London, Philadelphia. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: Stamped: IV. MS notes: Shelve with #18212 Evans, Lewis ; #18215.

This issue is identical to 18221 except that the imprint lower right has been changed from 1775 to "Publish'd as the Act directs, 15 June 1775." This issue found in the "American Atlas" of Sayer and Bennett of 1775. Note Sayer & Jefferys appear on the map, Sayer & Bennett on the Atlas. Pownall protested the use of this plate, Sayer & Bennett removed it from the 1776 Atlas. Submap: A sketch of the Remaining part of the Ohio R., &c. MS note: 18222. Prime meridian: London, Philadelphia. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: Stamped: XI.
