[JEFFERYS, Thomas (c.1719-1771), editor.] The Conduct of the French, with regard to Nova Scotia; from its first Settlement to the present Time.

The map depicts in shaded hachure the French encroachment into British-claimed territory in all of North America. Howes J-80; Lande S-1128; Sabin 35957; Streeter sale 1005; TPL 4708.
