Description
Rare map of Vermont, New Hampshire and the southern part of Maine, prepared to illustrate Timothy Dwight's Travels in New York and New England. Dwight's four volume work is one of the most interesting works of its type of the period.
Dwight begins his book by stating that in the year 1795 I was chosen President of Yale College. The business of this office is chiefly of a sendentary nature, and requires exertions of the mind almost without interruption. In 1774, when a tutor in the same Seminary, I was very near losing my life by inaction, and too intense application to study. A highly influential work.
The map includes an inset map of the Connecticut River region, centered on Heart Lake.
