This seemingly slight work, published the year before commencement of the French and Indian War, in fact lays the ground for British claims to disputed territory in North America. On pages 51-52 Jefferys points out the French cartographers's 'geographical slight of hand': Delisle, Danville, Bellin, and others for extending French boundaries in America with the successive editions of their maps, and so revealing French aims of expansion in all of North America, not only Nova Scotia (called "Arcadia"), but also Carolina, and beyond, even Francis Drake Bay had been renamed San Francisco. Jefferys published his own map of Nova Scotia in the midst of the French and Indian War in 1755.

Published toward the end of the seven years war, just a year before the Treaty of Paris was signed, in which Spain had sided with France against Britain, this atlas is largely compiled from captured Spanish charts " our eyes of course turn towards those parts of Spanish America, where it is most likely the English will principally aim their attacks and while we are in doubtful expectation where next the fury of war will fall, it is intended to confine the pen chiefly to an account of the sea-coasts, harbours, and towns adjacent to them, of the Spanish acquisitions of the West-Indies" (Introduction). Jeffery's carefully describes the Spanish possession in the Caribbean basin, beginning with the Venezuelan coast, proceeding toe Colombia, Central America, Mexico, Florida (which was to become part of Britain's American territories), Cuba Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico. Louisiana is omitted as it was not to come into Spanish hands until 1763, as is Texas which was claimed by both France and Spain. The maps are: A Chart of the West Indies; Puerto de la Guaira; Puerta de Cavello; Santa Martha; Harbour of Carthagena; City of Carthagena; Bay Zisapata; Porto Bello or Puerto Velo; The Town of chagre; The Isthumus of Pananma; San Fernando de Omoa; Port Royal Laguna; The Road of Vera Cruz; City of La Vera Cruz; Pensacola; Saint Augustine; The Island of Cuba; The City of Havana; Bahia de Matanzas; Bahia de Nipe; Puerto de Baracoa; Guantanimo; Santiago de Cuba; Bahia de Xagua; The Colorados; Bahia Honda; Puerto de Cavanas; Puerto de Mariel; Map of San Domino; City of San Domingo; San Juan de Puerto Rico; and Aguada Nueva. Thomas Jefferys published some of "the most important eighteenth-century maps of the Americas, a series given cohesion and impetus by the preliminary hostilities and eventual outbreak of the Seven Years' War. Among many individual works of note were Joshua Fry's and Peter Jefferson's 1751 survey of Virginia, engraved and published by Jefferys in 1753, and Joseph Blanchard's and Samuel Langdon's New Hampshire (1761), the first published map of the state. The culmination of this concentration of work was the atlas published in association with Robert Sayer as A General Topography of North America in 1768. Posthumous collections were published by Sayer in 1775 as The American Atlas, The North-American Pilot, including important charts by James Cook, and The West-India Atlas, for which a collection of working drafts survives in the British Library" (DNB).
