TO WHICH IS ADDED, A NEW AND EASY INTRODUCTION TO GEOGRAPHY AND ASTRONOMY; WITH A NOMENCLATURE, EXPLAINING THE ESSENTIAL TERMS IN EACH SCIENCE. . . BY JOSEPH SCOTT. IN FOUR VOLUMES. VOL. II. Unpaged but Harvard's Hollis catalog cites [466]. Hardcover: H 21cm x L 13.75cm. Original full calf dark brown leather rubbed with some staining, board corners worn, spine ends chipped, spine decorated with gilt bars delineating seven compartments, spine's maroon and black title labels have varied chipping but retain still intact and reasonably bright gilt lettering. Wear and incursions to text block edges with latter most prevalent at top and bottom edges adjacent to spine but, upon a quick perusal, apparently only affecting page margins and no loss of text. Toning and some staining throughout; antiquarian ink ownership inscription at top of title page with a previous owner's name obscured under old ink; yet another name also in antiquarian ink at top margin of page [5]. Binding remains firm. Harvard's catalog calls for four folded leaves of plates all of which are present: {#1} foldout map of Connecticut bound-in at the state's entry; {#2} foldout map of Delaware also bound-in at state's entry; {#3} largest foldout "An Accurate Map of Europe Compiled from the best Authorities 1797" (with two tears at bottom and multiple creases as the map no longer follows its original folds) bound-in at Europe entry; and {#4} foldout map of Georgia (depicting territorial range from Atlantic seaboard and Savannah in east to the Mississippi River and Natchez in the west and to West Florida panhandle in the south) bound-in at Georgia entry. Sold as is with all faults.

John Barrow was a geographer, historian, and lexicographer. He was originally a teacher of mathematics and navigation aboard ships of the Royal Navy. He retired in 1750 and turned his attention entirely towards writing. Elizabeth Baigent writes, in her entry for the "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography," "He compiled dictionaries and other works which drew on his mathematical and scientific knowledge. Many of his works went through more than one edition and some were translated. His compilations included 'Dictionarium polygraphicum' (1735), 'Dictionarium medicum, universale' (1749), a 'Geographical Dictionary' (2 vols, 1759-60), and 'Dictionary of Arts and Sciences' (1764)." Barrow published this work, his geographical dictionary, anonymously in London. A visually pleasing work of geographical reference.
