Notes
Originally issued in numbers: v.1, Jan. 1747-May 1749; v.2, April 1750-Aug. (?) 1752, but not printed in the "American magazine" as first announced by the publisher; left unfinished at the author's death in October, 1752
At end of table of contents of v.1 is printed the direction: "Place the map to face the title of vol. 1"; the map so placed in Copy 2 is "A New and accurate map of North America" by Huske. Copy 1 does not contain maps. The three maps described in the Introduction to v.2, p. 20-21 ("originals composed and lately printed in the several countries") are wanting in this copy and in all MTL copies of different editions of the "Summary", as they are in all L.C. and N.Y.P.L. copies
The second volume ends at p. 416 (end of section XVI, Virginia); in a re-issue [1758?] of v.2, with t.-p., "Boston...1753" prefixed, p. 417-440 were added ("in order to render this work more compleat, the following is collected from Mr. Salmon's Geographical and historical grammar, printed in London 1757") [i.e. the 6th ed., 1758, events to Nov. 1758 being included]
"A digression concerning the smallpox": v.2, p. 392-414
