[DCRM-L] Maps in "Révolution de l'Amérique. Par M. l'abbé Raynal ..."

[Noble, Richard]

No map is indicated in ESTC records for the many 1781 editions, including
the one you have in hand. It seems likely that your copy is thus
"extra-illustrated".

Have you searched for the maps themselves? Have they got imprints of their
own, or any indication of date? Are they possibly the two Bellin maps with
these titles, for which there are a number of OCLC records?
