Pub Note:
First edition, first state (10 line errata); map and first three leaves (of the Narrative) and last leaf (of the Sermon) in expert facsimile. Remnants of original Ratcliff binding laid on new leather (see Streeter for importance of Ratcliff binding). Contains the first map printed in English America, titled "A Map of New England, Being the first that ever was here cut..." Later in the year, a London edition appeared with a similar map, but with the "White Hills" of the Boston edition map changed to the "Wine Hills." See Wheat and Brun for details of the relationship of these two maps. The text of the "Narrative" is considered a cornerstone authority on the subject, and the sermon is "bibliographically important as being one of the first books printed in Boston" (Streeter).
