- "The date 1784 on the imprint is an engraver's error, transposing the '8' and '4': the map shows the complete coastline of New Zealand, as mapped by Captain Cook in the early 1770s, but not Hawaii, the Bering Straits and the other discoveries of Cook's Third Voyage."--Vendors notes, provided with National Library of Australia's copy.
