| From the London Magazine, v. 32, Jan. 1763. Block of descriptive text on the back which reads: "In the annexed Map of North America, which is more distinct and correct than any hitherto published, that part which before the war indisputably belonged to Great Britain, is coloured red; that part which was possessed or pretended to, by the French, but by the late treaty yielded to us, is coloured green; that part which the French have still a title to, if Spain pleases to allow them any title, is coloured blue; and that part which indisputably belonged to Spain, but is now yielded to us, is coloured yellow." |
