On the French side the following maps may be named:— The great D’Anville map, _Canada, Louisiane, et les terres anglaises_, which was followed in the next year (1756) by D’Anville’s _Mémoire_ on the same map; Robert de Vaugondy’s _Partie de l’Amérique Septentrionale qui comprend le Cours de l’Ohio, la N^{lle} Angleterre, la N^{lle} York, New Jersey, Pensylvanie, Maryland, Virginie, Caroline; Carte Nouvelle de l’Amérique Angloise contenant le Canada, la Nouvelle Ecosse ou Acadie, les treize Provinces unies, avec la Floride, par Matthieu Albert Lotter_, published at Augsburg, without date; _Carte des possessions Angloises et Françoises du Continent de l’Amérique Septentrionale_, published by Ottens at Amsterdam, 1755; _Carte de l’Amérique Septentrionale, par M. Bellin_, 1755; in the same year the _Partie Orientale, et partie Occidentale de la Nouvelle France ou du Canada_, likewise by Bellin;[148] and the _Carte de la Louisiane par le Sieur Bellin, 1750, sur de nouvelles Observations on a corrigé les lacs, et leurs environs, 1755; Canada et Louisiane, par le Sieur le Rouge, ingénieur géographe du Roi_, Paris, 1755, with a marginal map of the Mississippi River. In the English interests there were several leading maps: _A new and accurate map of North America (wherein the errors of all preceding British, French, and Dutch maps respecting the rights of Great Britain, France, and Spain, and the limits of each of His Majesty’s Provinces are corrected), by Huske_. This was engraved by Thomas Kitchin, and published by Dodsley at London, 1755. It gives the names of the French trading posts and stations. John Huske also printed _The Present State of North America, Part I._, London, 1755, which appeared in a 2d edition the same year with emendations, giving Huske’s map, colored, leaving the encroachments of the French uncolored. It was also reprinted in Boston, in the same year.[149] Another is _A map of the British Colonies in North America, with the roads, distances, limits, and extent of the settlements_. This is John Mitchell’s map, in six sheets, engraved by Kitchin, published in London by Jefferys and Faden, 1755. John Pownall, under date of February 13, 1755, certifies to the approval of the Lords of Trade.[150] It was reëngraved, with improvements, a year or two later, at Amsterdam, by Covens and Mortier, under the title _Map of the British and French Dominions in North America_, on four sheets, with marginal plans of Quebec, Halifax, Louisbourg, etc.[151] Lewis Evans issued his _General Map of the Middle British Colonies in America_ in 1755,[152] and it was forwarded to Braddock after he had taken the field, for his assistance in entering upon the disputed territory of the Ohio Valley,—indeed, its publication was hastened by that event, the preface of the accompanying pamphlet being dated Aug. 9, 1755.
