The atlas features regional maps with bilingual titles and subtitles in English and French, engraved by prominent London cartographers including John Gibson and Thomas Kitchin.The atlas is especially noted for its coverage of North America, exemplified by Gibson's double-page folding map of Canada. This plate details the contested frontier of the French and Indian War, delineating British and French colonial claims, Indigenous tribal territories (including the Six Nations, Hurons, and Outaouais), and crucial military posts such as Fort Duquesne and Fort Niagara. Mythical features of the interior, such as the imaginary islands of Philippeaux and Pontchartrain in Lake Superior, remain recorded alongside accurate hydrography of the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes basin.Dury published the atlas from his shop in Duke's Court, St. Martin's Lane, offering it in collaboration with major print sellers Robert Sayer and Carington Bowles.
