The first edition and the second, substantially expanded edition, the latter with revisions and additions by the author. "Superior to anything of the kind that preceded it ... [Neal's] style is often sprightly and he displays a sense of humor. For some aspects of the revolution of 1688-9 his work is still useful" (Larned). The maps depict the eastern seaboard, from New York to Nova Scotia and with two inset maps, of Boston and of coast even further north. Alden & Landis 720⁄178; Howes N-26; Larned 992; Sabin 52140.
