Reissue of: A description of the Island of St. John, in the Gulf of St. Laurence, North America ... - London : Printed and solde by R. Ashby ... and W. Winchester ..., [1798]. Cf. Gagnon II 628; TPL 6820.

Map bears imprint "London, Publish'd ... March 1, 1798, by H. Ashby, King Street, Cheapside" and is hand-col. in all known copies.

Ashby's name is unclear: the letter "b" is broken and resembles "h". The 1798 ed. was published by R. [sic] Ashby, and W. Winchester, but the map in both eds. has imprint "H. Ashby."

The firm of W. Winchester became "W. Winchester and Son" in 1803. Cf. Todd, W.B.A directory of printers andothers in allied trades, London and vicinity, 1800-1840, p. 215.
