CHART of the WORLD according to Mercators Projection Shewing the latest discoveries of Capt. COOK
William GuthrieThomas Kitchin
Shows the tracks of Capt. James Cook's voyages from 1768-1780. Antarctica is not shown and is referenced as different forms of ice blocking the path. Bering Strait is shown impassible due to ice between both continents on July 1779. Engraved under the cartouche "O'clock Hours at London" and the bottom graticule shows hours at lines of longitude. This is one of the earliest maps we've seen indicating time.
Projection makes it difficult to obtain accurate latitude coordinates.

On top of the map "Engraved for Guthries new system of Geography". There are a few "Atlases" that exist which contain all the maps from Guthrie's New System of Geography, however it appears that these were supposed to be bound into the book as one record found states "The order in which the maps are to be placed by the bookbinder".
