A French copy, with amendments, was published in 1777.[153] The map was also reëngraved in London, “carefully copied from the original published at Philadelphia by Mr. Lewis Evans.” It omits the dedication to Pownall, and is inscribed “Printed for Carrington Bowles, London; published, Jan. 1, 1771.” It has various legends not on Evans’ map, and omits some details, notwithstanding its professed correspondence. Evans had used the Greek character [Greek: ch] to express the _gh_ of the Indian names, which is rendered in the Bowles map _ch_. Another plate of Evans’ map was engraved in London, and published there by Sayer and Bennett, Oct. 15, 1776, to show the “seat of war.” It covers the same field as the map of 1755, and uses the same main title; but it is claimed to have been “improved from several surveys made after the late war, and corrected from Governor Pownall’s late map, 1776.” The side map is extended so as to include Lake Superior, and is called “A sketch of the upper parts of Canada.” Smith (1756) says: “Evans’ map and first pamphlet were published in the summer, 1755, and that part in favor of the French claim to Frontenac was attacked by two papers in the _N. Y. Mercury_, Jan. 5, 1756. This occasioned the publication of a second pamphlet the next spring, in which he endeavors to support his map.”[154] Evans’ pamphlet is called _Geographical, historical, political, philosophical, and mechanical essays. The first, containing an analysis of a general map of the middle British colonies in America; and of the country of the confederate Indians_ [etc.]. Philadelphia, 1755. iv. 32 pp. 4º. A second edition, with the title unchanged, appeared the same year, while “Part ii.” was published in the following year.[155] By Gen. Shirley’s order N. Alexander made a map of the frontier posts from New York to Virginia, which is noted in the _Catal. of the King’s maps_ (British Museum), ii. 24. This may be a duplicate of a MS. map said by Parkman (i. p. 422) to be in the Public Record office, _America and West Indies_, lxxxii., showing the position of thirty-five posts from the James River to Esopus on the Hudson. Le Page du Pratz gave a “Carte de la Louisiane, par l’Auteur, 1757,” in his _Histoire de la Louisiane_ (vol. i. p. 138), a part of which map is reproduced herewith. See also _ante_, p. 66. In the _Gentleman’s Magazine_, 1757, p. 74, is “A map of that part of America which was the principal seat of war in 1756,” defining the Ottawa River as the bounds under the treaty of Utrecht. Janvier’s _L’Amérique_, in 1760, carried the bounds of Louisiana to the Pacific.
