Boston, which was settled in 1630, is found laid down, but there is no mention of Maryland, the Province of Virginia forming the southern Boundary of New Belgium.

As Maryland was first granted in that and the settlement of Boston.

1632, it is evident the date of this Map must be some year between

Most probably, it was engraved in 1631.

In point of time, it may be considered the third oldest Map of the Province extant, having, as far as yet

known, been preceded by only two Dutch Maps, one of 1616 and one 1618, transcripts of which are in the office of the

Secretary of State, and of one of which this Italian Map is evidently an improved copy.
