Description

Folding Maps, Folding Plates, Illustrated, Leather Binding

A new edition. First published in 1807. 

Folio.

This 1814 edition is the first to contain the addition of eleven new historical maps. Drawing on the inspiration of an atlas, this fascinating work offers a new approach to learning history, and genealogy through a series of maps and diagrams. The atlas was created to provide a more interesting approach to the various and often confusing aspects of global history, and includes maps demonstrating notable battles and sieges during the Roman Empire, the discoveries of Columbus and a geographical map of the 'modern world'. 

Compiled by C. V. Lavoisne, who was a Professor at the University of Caen, and C. Gros, who was a Professor at the University of Paris. Lavoisne died before the completion of this work, and so it was continued by Gros.

A scarce edition of this detailed and interesting approach to world history.
