- Map of Asia issued six months after Flinders's publication A Voyage to Terra Australis, the most important survey of the Australian coast, which included his seminal chart of Australia and the first British chart to depict the southern coastline. Smith has removed all evidence of French place names given by Nicholas Baudin, the commander of the Geographe and Naturalist who charted much of the southern coast at the same time as Flinders. No inland information is included on the Australian continent. The map also records the first English sighting of the Australian coast and the first recorded European shipwreck off the coast of Western Australia by the Tryall, an East India Company ship under the command of John Brookes in 1622, that had run aground on the Tryal Rocks (105km off the north-west coast of WA). Relief shown by hachures.
