Browsing: Diary of John Adams, Volume 4

Folded map, 7¾″ × 9¾″, engraved by Thomas Kitchin, in William Bollan, The Ancient Right of the English Nation to the American Fishery ..., London, 1764. The map admirably illustrates the recurrent and extensive discussions by John Adams of the problem of American rights in the Atlantic fisheries. See for example the Diary entries for 25–30 November 1782 and notes, vol. 3:72–85; and a passage in the present volume, p. 247.
