This is the orig. ed., issued in numbers as a part of Stevens's Collection of 

 Voyages, 1709. The copy examined in the Congressional Library lacks the title- 

 leaf and the map; otherwise the collation is: Dedication, 1 leaf; Preface, 

 1 leaf; Introduction and Journal, pp. 1-60 ; A Description of North Carolina, 

 pp. 61-258 ; Advertisement, 1 leaf; Animal plate at p. 181. The size is sm. 4to by 

 printer's sigs., or sq. 8vo. The bird-matter is at pp. 135-151. The work was re- 

 printed, with new title, beginning "The History of Carolina", etc., but in other 

 respects identical, 1714; another ed., precisely similar to the last, 1718 ; a 4th ed., 

 Dublin, 1737, attributed to Brickell. q. v. The 5th and last ed. was issued at Ka- 

 leigh in 1860, q. v. There is also a German version, ,,Beschreibung der Provinz 

 Carolina" u. s. w., 8vo, Hamburg, 1712. "Neither of the first three editions of 

 Lawson's work is often found complete, with the map, and animal plate." For 

 the ornithology of this work, see what is said under heads of BRICKELL, 1737, and 

 of the edition of 1860. 



1714. LAWSON, J. The | History | of | Carolina ; | containing the | Exact 

 Description and Natural History | of that Country : | Together with 

 the Present State thereof. | And | A Journal | of a Thousand Miles,

 Surveyor General | of North-Carolina. | | London : | Printed foi 

 W. Taylor at the Ship, and T. Baker at the Black- | Boy, in Pater- 

 Naster-Row, 1714. 



Identical in every respect, excepting the title, with the orig. ed., 1709, q. v. 

 On actual comparison, this seems to be only other copies of the original, furnished 

 with a new title-leaf.
