[This plate was evidently designed to give Smith's readers some idea of the geography, fortifications,
and colonial settlement of Bermuda. It is divided into 14 rectangular compartments. In
the center is a redrawing of Richard Norwood's basic map (see the Generall Historie, 169n), surrounded
by hackneyed illustrations keyed to the map by the capital letters A to P. In addition, the
map is independently divided into "tribes," numbered from 1 to 8. No clue is given to the engraver
(Hind, Engraving, II, 389), which may indicate that the drawings are not original but were taken or
copied from some other work. The plate appears in three states, which reflect only insignificant
changes (Sabin, Dictionary, 229-230). The present reproduction is of the first state.

The editor is grateful to the New York Public Library for permission to reproduce this map,
here slightly reduced.]
