    Title A Map of the Country Thirty Degrees Round the North-Pole.
    Publishing Information London: Neele, Samuel John, circa 1791
    Description Uncoloured; light signs of old folds possibly from how it wasfolded in the book. Trimmed close to neatline at bottom with loss of engraver's imprint. The map is 19cm in diameter. A map of the Arctic Circle to just over 60 degrees south. The northen coast of North America and Greenland is very sketchy. Engraved by Samuel Neele. Undated but Longman & Co., published a similar but slightly more detailed map in 1808. "The Copper Indians" are mentioned and at 80 degrees a note stating "Boundary of Ice 1773". Greenland is shown connected to the continent across Baffin's Bay.

Dr. John Trusler. Publication date 1791.
