A map of New Britain, the northern coast of New Guinea and adjacent islands, with a voyage track showing part of Dampier’s voyage of 1699. An extensive commentary promotes further exploration of this area, suggesting New Guinea as a good source of gold and spices and New Britain as an excellent location for a new colony. The map is taken from John Harris' Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca. or, A Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels, 1744 - 1748.
