"ANAUTHORirrOF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE''— ^insOT 



Edited with Introduction, Notes, and Index, by 



FRANK HEYWOOD HODDER 



Professor of American History, University of Kansas 



THIS exceedingly rare work was issued in London, in 1770, and 

 has been so much in demand by historical students and collectors 

 of Americana that even imperfect copies of the original are now almost 

 impossible to obtain at any price. Our text is from a perfect copy of 

 the original with all the folding maps and plans carefully reproduced. 



*Only two copies have been offered for sale during the past five years ; one copy sold 

 at $95.00, and the other is now offered by a reliable firm of booksellers at $105.00.
