A fine collection of maps of the islands of the West Indies, prefaced by the 24-page General View of the West Indies found in Jefferys' West India Atlas (first published London: Sayer and Bennett, 1775). 16 of the maps were published by Laurie and Whittle; 14 of them are dated 1794, one is dated 1795, and the additional map of Trinidad is dated 1800.
