Sparke, 1635 With the additional Map of New England, of which very few copies exist. The engraved title is dated 1637. "This has the rare map of Virginia, engraved by Ralph Hall, which is very seldom seen in the book. It gives a special value to the above copy where it is inserted. If the engraving could have been done in time, the sheet would have taken its place with the rest, impressed opposite the text to Virginia, and a Rarity would have been lost to the American Collector. However, the publishers filled up the blank with a duplicate of the New Spain Map, this being mentioned in the Errata with a statement that a correct map of New England was then being prepared in America, which would be published on its arrival in England. A change of owners took place two years afterwards, and the frontispiece was re-engraved, having Sparke's name alone, with Second Edition' added, and the date changed. In some of these copies the new map was inserted. The stock thus treated was, however, very small." 1655 MESSLER (Abraham). Centennial History of SOMERSET COUNTY [N. J.]. 12mo, cloth.
