= Koeman II: p.50, C: "With atlases of this category, we can no longer speak of a regularly produced edition. Copies with 100, 200, up to 600 maps of various composition are known (...) Messrs. Covens & Mortier collected hundreds of different maps from various publishers to bundle them up in atlases of a diversified composition. Their 'Nieuwe atlas' was often assembled by order of the collector. The register was always handwritten. The title-p. was never dated. Among the names of the publishers of these maps are the Netherlanders: P. Schenk, G. Valk, H. de Leth, F. de Wit, et al. and foreign map-makers including Homann and d'Anville, The atlases belonging to this category were sold by Covens & Mortier during 1730-1794 and even later by their successors."

80 2814 Australia Flinders M

- Several maps with reduced blank margins and partly cut to/ just inside) the plate mark (probably due to the fact that the were taken from variously sized copies and rebound or because of frail blank margins). One map (no.VII) yellowed in lower margin in the longitude strip, but not affecting the map; tear of 4,7 cm. in lower margin of map no.VIII (affecting the blank section of the map); map no.XI w. tear at top end of two folds (3,5 and 6,5 cm.); a few maps (sl.) creased; most maps and all botanical plates have a vague false central vertical fold. Nevertheless a good/ fine copy with the large General Map in fine condition. Corners (sl.) bumped.

= Hill 614; Kroepelien 438; Nissen BBI 673; Ferguson 576; Tooley, Mapping of Australia, pp.77-79; cf. Wantrup 67.

The importance of Flinders' A Voyage to Terra Australis cannot be overstated.

Grant was the first navigator to pass through Bass Strait from the West and he discovered the Victorian coastline west of Bass's discoveries of 1797 and 1798. (...) In June and July of 1801 Grant and the Lieutenant-Governor, William Paterson, explored the Hunter River in the Lady Nelson. (...) Shortly after he returned from this trip Grant requested that he be returned to England. Governor King approved his application and Grant departed from the colony on 9 November 1801, arriving back in England in April 1802.
