Mount (Richard & Page, Thomas, publisher). The English Pilot. The Fourth Book. Describing The West-India Navigation from Hudson's Bay to the River Amazones Particularly Delineating the Coasts, Capes, Headlands, Rivers, Bays, Havens, Harbours, Streights, Rocks, Shoals, Banks, Depths of Water and Anchorage with all the Islands therein; as Jamaica, Cuba, Hispaniola, Barbadoes, Antigua, Bermudas, Porto Rico and the Rest of the Carribbee and Bahama Islands, Also a new description of Newfoundland, New England, New York, East and West New Jersey, Dellawar Bay, Virginia, Maryland, Carolina &c......., 1784, title page and page of explanation both with a contemp. dated (1789) ownership signature, twenty-five uncoloured engraved charts (including six double page and fourteen folding), numerous wood engraved horizon profiles to text throughout, some offsetting, one map (New England) with contemp. manuscript on verso listing the longitude and latitude of various places on the east coast of New England 'as observed by Captain Holland', contemp. sheep, skillfully rebacked, repaired at corners and extrems., folio. The English Pilot was published in five separate volumes. Volume four can be considered the first English sea atlas of the Americas. Although volume four was first published in 1678, the Mount & Page edition of 1784 contains several new and important charts. 'A Draught of South Carolina and Georgia' by Andrew Hughes was added in 1778 and the frontispiece of 'A New and Correct Chart of the Western and Southern Oceans' by Edmund Halley is one of the landmark maps in English cartography. The 'Chart of New York Harbour' and 'A Map of the Coast of New England' appear for the first time in this edition. The hand writing on the verso of the map of New England and the ownership signatures on the title and pp.B appear to be by the same hand. His observations are those of a professional seaman - his name appears to be Pearse - and he has added an annotation to the map stating, 'By a good Observation, the 6th April 1789 I find the South part of the Isle Sable Bank to be Lattde 42o 49m N. NB Sounded directly after Observing with 155 Fathom no Ground'. One can safely deduce that the atlas travelled with Pearse on a voyage accross the Atlantic Ocean to North America, making its survival in almost original condition, all the more remarkable. (1)
