Note:
Map of the Middle East and Asia including the East Indies. It features characteristic misconceptions of early 18th century cartography such as New Guinea as a peninsula of the southern continent and Iapon or Niphon [i.e. Japan] having a huge northern island called Land of Iesso [presumably the islands of Hokkaido and Sakhalin]. Insets in the top left hand corner : "Hellespont or ye Straits of Constanti-nople by Capt.Bamburg", "The Gulf of Smirna", Bombay and Sallset Isl., Hugly R. from Buffalow Point to Hugly Towne. Insets in the top right hand corner :"Part of Chusan Island to China" and "Too avoid too great a contraction of the scale, the supposed North Coast of Asia is continued here." The map shows the seasonal winds. An input of text questions the New Philippines.
