This is a 1763 re-engraving of De l'Isle's 1722 map. This edition bears the inset and several other features not previously shown. For example the famous "Mer de Ouest." is shown on the map. The western interior of Canada has been extended and much more physical features are shown. Halifax also appears on this map; while it did not appear on any of the earlier editions. This map is only one of 21 editions that were published between 1722 and 1830. The N.M.C. holds two copies of this map, one is a coloured original appearing as plate 5 of a De l'Isle-Buache collection of maps. The other is a photocopy.
