The maps are praised by all bibliographers as being by far the best relating to the war, and include several seminal maps which are the most accurate produced to that time. They comprise:
1) "Fort Beau Sejour, & the adjacent Country Taken Possession of by Colonel Monckton"
2) "Lake Ontario to the Mouth of the River St. Lawrence"
3) [Map of Lake George and vicinity]
4) "A Plan of Fort Edward & Its Environs on Hudsons River"
5) "Communication Between Albany & Oswego"
6) "Attack on Louisbourg" [by Amherst & Boscawen]
7) "The Attack of Ticonderoga" [by Major General Abercromby]
8) "Plan of Fort Pitt or Pittsbourg"
9) "Guadaloupe"
10) "Attack on Quebec" [by Wolfe & Saunders]
11) "A Sketch of the Cherokee Country"
12) "The River Saint Lawrence from Lake Ontario to the Island of Montreal"
13) "A Plan of the Attack upon Fort Levi"
14) "River St. Lawrence from Montreal to the Island of St. Barnaby...& the Islands of Jeremy"
15) "A View of the Coast of Martinico Taken by Desire of Rear Adml Rodney"
16) "Part, of the West Coast, of the Island of Saint Lucia"
17) "Plan of the Retaking Newfoundland" [by Colville & Amherst]
18) "Attack of the Havanna" [by Albemarle & Pococke]
Sabin writes of this great rarity: "Copies with all the maps are scarce. It is probable that but few were printed, although the large and beautiful plans and military maps (which gave it so great a value), must have made its production a work of much expense."
