Sabin, who records an edition of Obilby as bearing date of 1670, says: "This English translation is, like Dapper's 'an impudent plagiarism' from Montanus, plates included." In the text many changes and additions were made by Ogilby, and his maps of Maryland, Jamaica and Barbados are not found in Montanus. The general map of America in Ogilby also differs materially from that in the Dutch work.Reproduction of original in Huntington Library.eebo-0113Voyages and travelsAmericaDiscovery and explorationAmericaHistoryTo 1810Voyages and travels.Ogilby John1600-1676.717262Montanus Arnoldus1625?-1683.706252EAAEAAm/cWaOLNBOOK996384494903316America : being the latest, and most accurate description of the new vvorld2358528UNISA
