Additional information
Attribution from 1844-1861 catalogue. There is some uncertainty about Captain Thomas Abercrombie (see Tooley's Dictionary of Mapmakers A-D) and Captain James Abercrombie, aide-de-camp to his uncle General James Abercromby (see the Dictionary of Canadian Biography). For a map signed by the former, see Maps K.Top.9.1.
