VIRGINIA CARTOGRAPHY. 25 



Page 461, same: The author of "New Albion" (1648), in 

 describing- Delaware Bay, refers to Captain Smith's book of Vir- 

 ginia, and a Captain Powel's map. 



The Draught by Robert Tindall of Virginia, Anno 1608. 



A chart of James and York rivers. The facsimile is in 

 Alex. Brown's " The Genesis of the United States," vol. i, 

 page 151, who says: "This 'Draught of Virginia' is the earliest 

 drawn by an Englishman now known to be in existence. It has 

 never been engraved before." 



Tyndall made a plan of James river for the Prince of Wales ♦ 

 in 1607, which is now probably lost. Brown, vol. i, page 457, 

 under " Map of America." 



Alexander Brown, in his " The Genesis of the United States," 

 vol. 2, pp. 596-597, gives a facsimile of a map sent by John 

 Smith in 1618 to Lord Bacon " to show the difference betwixt 

 Virginia and New England." Brown gives this as an illustra- 

 tion of Smith's ignorance of map-making, and says: "I have 

 found no real evidence that Smith could draw a map." A 

 reduced facsimile of Smith's Virginia map is also given.
