Heron - A Map of the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, Comprehending the Spanich Provinces of East and West Florida… by Joseph Purcell
This historic map engraving is from Robert Heron's A New and Complete System of Universal Geography. The work was published in 1796 in Edinburgh by R. Morison & Son.
Robert Heron (1764-1807) was a Scottish writer. He attended the University of Edinburgh in 1780 where he supported his studies working for booksellers. He went to jail as a debtor, but released when he began to write History of Scotland.
Provenance: Bookplate of Richardson of Pitfour; From Library of the Stevenson Lighthouse Engineers
