The maps which, three years later (1755), grew out of the controversies in America on the boundary claims of France and England have been definitely classified in another place,[514] and perhaps the limit of the English pretensions was reached in _A New and Accurate Map of the English Empire in North America, representing their Rightful Claim, as confirmed by Charters and the formal Surrender of their Indian Friends, likewise the Encroachments of the French, etc. By a Society of Anti-Gallicans. Published according to Act of Parliament, Decbr., 1755, and sold by W^m. Herbert on London Bridge and Robert Sayer over against Fetter Lane in Fleet Street_. This map is of some importance in defining the location of the Indian tribes and towns. The English influence is also apparent in a reissue of D’Anville, made at Nuremberg by the Homann publishing house the next year: _America Septentrionalis a Domino D’Anville in Gallia edita, nunc in Anglia Coloniis in Inferiorem Virginiam deductis nec non Fluvii Ohio cursu aucta, etc., Sumptibus Homanniorum Heredum, Noribergiæ, 1756_.[515] It makes the province of New York stretch westerly to Lake Michigan. * * * * * Respecting the special maps of New York province, a particular interest attaches to _The Map of the Country of the Five Nations_, printed by Bradford in 1724, which was the first map engraved in New York. The _Brinley Catal._ (ii. no. 3,384, 3,446) shows the map in two states, apparently of the same year (1724). It originally accompanied Cadwallader Colden’s _Papers relating to an Act of the Province of New York for the encouragement of the Indian trade_. It was reëngraved from the first state for the London ed. of Colden’s Five Nations, in 1747, and from this plate it has been reproduced on another page (chapter viii.).[516] [Illustration: CADWALLADER COLDEN’S MAP OF THE MANORIAL GRANTS ALONG THE HUDSON.] Another of Colden’s maps, made by him as surveyor-general of the province, exists in a mutilated state in the State library at Albany, showing the regions bordering on the Hudson and Mohawk rivers. It was drafted by him probably at the end of the first quarter of the eighteenth century,[517] and fac-similes of parts of it are annexed (pp. 236, 237). A map of the northern parts of the province, called _Carte du Lac Champlain depuis le Fort Chambly jusqu’au Fort St. Frédéric, levée par le Sieur Anger, arpenteur du Roy en 1732, faite à Québec, le 10 Octobre, 1748, signé de Lery_, indicates the attempted introduction of a feudal system of land tenure by the French. The map is reproduced in O’Callaghan’s _Doc. Hist. of New York_. The province of New York to its western bounds is shown in _A Map of New England and ye Country adjacent, by a gentleman, who resided in those parts_. _Sold by W. Owen_ (London, 1755).
