Sayer & Bennett's reissue of the Kitchin-Jefferys-Sayer and Jefferys plate withdrawn in 1776 from the "American Atlas" reappears in altered form. Sayer & Bennett included this map in "The American Military Pocket Atlas" of 1776 with a dedication to Pownall indicating his probable approval of the map as revised (see 18226 for confirmation). New title added above the original, "The Seat of the War in the Middle British Colonies, containing Virginia, Maryland, The Delaware Counties, &c." Shapes of Lakes Ontario and Erie, the course of the Ohio River are revised, and "Province of Quebec" in large letters is added. The submap is expanded northward and renamed "A sketch of the upper parts of Canada." Submap: A sketch of the upper parts of Canada. MS note: 18225. Prime meridian: London, Philadelphia. Relief: pictorial. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Pseudocylindrical. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: Stamped: XIV. MS notes: Shelve with #18212 Evans, Lewis ; #18225.

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.
