Holland arrived on Prince Edward Island in 1764 following the 1763 Treaty of Paris that ceded the territory to Britain.

Another table in the top center of the map lists lots and proprietor's names.

Apprenticed to engraver Emmanuel Bowen in 1735 Jefferys began his career by engraving maps for "Gentleman's Magazine" before establishing his own business. In 1746 he was appointed Geographer to Frederick Prince of Wales and became Royal Cartographer to King George III in 1760. Despite facing financial difficulties and bankruptcy Jefferys' work was rescued and republished by Robert Sayer. His maps remained influential through posthumous editions by Sayer Bennet and others. Jefferys was succeeded by his son Thomas Jefferys Jr. and his plates eventually passed to William Faden. His contributions have had a lasting impact on cartographic history particularly in the mapping of North America. Sayer and Bennett unknown

1884ref. AMO-3987Paris, Paul Ollendorff, 1884 1 volume in-18 (19,5 x 12,5 cm) de (4)-403 pages. Reliure de l'époque demi-maroquin prune, dos à nerfs, auteur, titre et millésime dorés, tête dorée, non rogné pour les autres tranches, couvertures jaunes imprimées conservées (les deux plats et le dos). Reliure signée DUPRÉ. Très bel état de conservation. Nouvelle édition. Tirage de luxe à 50 exemplaires sur papier de Hollande (n°36) numérotés au composteur. L'édition originale du roman le plus célèbre de l'auteur a paru en 1882. Il s'agit ici d'une nouvelle édition parue peu après la sortie de l'adaptation théâtrale qui connut un énorme succès. C'est une histoire sentimentale se déroulant dans un cadre bourgeois, utilisant les recettes du mélodrame et du feuilleton. Le Maître de forges a été adapté pour le théâtre par Ohnet lui-même dès l'année suivante (1883). Créée au théâtre du Gymnase, la pièce connaîtra la célébrité, avec plus de 271 représentations en quelques mois : « un immense succès d’intérêt, d’émotions et de larmes », écrira-t-on dans Le Figaro le lendemain de la première[réf. nécessaire]. Succès qui dépassera même les frontières de la France puisque la pièce sera jouée à Saint-Pétersbourg et à Londres. Quatre familles sont mises en scène, de Beaulieu, noblesse dont la ruine subite intervient au début du film, Derblay, industriel historique maitre de forges, de Bligny, grande noblesse oisive et dépensière, et Moulinet, très riche industriel parvenu et sans éducation. Entre ces personnages va se jouer un ballet de calculs matrimoniaux, d'espoir déçus, de regrets, de tromperies, de résignation, de jalousie et de perfidie. Claire de Beaulieu, riche héritière, devait épouser le duc de Bligny, mais apprenant sa ruine, le duc s'écarte d'elle et préfère la riche Athénaïs Moulinet dont le père, jouant de sa fortune, ferait tout pour accéder au beau monde. Claire, qui est tenue ignorante de sa ruine, accepte par dépit la demande en mariage de Philippe Derblay. Claire et Athénaïs se sont connues adolescentes en pension et ont toujours été rivales. Claire n'aime pas Philippe et ce dernier est déçu de ce mariage, ils vont vivre sans se parler, mais peu à peu Claire se rapproche de lui jusqu'à comprendre sa grandeur d'âme. Georges Ohnet (1848-1918) tout d'abord journaliste et auteur de théâtre, c'est en écrivant la saga "Les batailles de la vie" qu'il rencontra le succès. Le maître de forges et La grande Marnière sont parmi les plus connus et furent tirés à très grand nombre. Ont dit de lui qu'il fut en quelque sorte un Anti-Zola par la forme et les thématiques. Ohnet fut l'historiographe de la bourgeoisie française et de l'aristocratie quand Zola décrivait les mineurs de fond et les filles de rien. Les critiques lui ont reproché des longueurs dans les descriptions qu'il fait (on pourrait dire la même chose de Zola) et quelques platitudes. Jules Lemaître s'exprime ainsi à son sujet : "Les quelques qualités de ces romans, étant purement scéniques, échappent à la lecture. On y trouve, en revanche, l'élégance des chromolithographies, la noblesse des sujets de pendule, les effets de cuisse des cabotins, l'optimisme des nigauds, le sentimentalisme des romances, la distinction comme la conçoivent les filles de concierge, la haute vie comme la rêve Emma Bovary, le beau style comme le comprend M. Homais. C'est du Feuillet sans grâce ni délicatesse, du Cherbuliez sans esprit ni philosophie, du Theuriet sans poésie ni franchise : de la triple essence de banalité." (Les Contemporains. Études et portraits littéraires, première série, Paris, librairie H. Lecène et H. Oudin, 1886, p. 354.). On sait ce qu'il reste de l'oeuvre de Jules Lemaître ... Le Maître de Forges a été adapté au cinéma par Fernand Rivers et Abel Gance en 1933, avec Gaby Morlay dans le rôle principal. Un premier film muet était sorti dès 1912. Bel exemplaire très bien établi par Dupré.
