About this Item
[24],488,[4]pp. plus eleven plates and folding map. 12mo. Contemporary calf, raised bands. Toe of spine bit chipped. Significant worming in first twelve leaves, affecting several letters on each page therein. Persistent but unobtrusive worming thereafter in foremargins through leaf M12. Else quite clean and very good. Second British edition of this important early scientific work, first published in Amsterdam in 1696. The interesting folding map shows most of the Caribbean, South America, the Atlantic, Africa, the Indian Ocean, the East Indies, and the northern portion of the large land mass described as "Hollandia Nova," to which is connected a peninsula, "Nova Guinea." The map is marked to show prevailing winds, in a very early attempt to describe them. ESTC locates six copies of this edition in North America. WING L824. ESTC R11398. Seller Inventory # WRCAM23583
