Description:
[Boston: B. & J. Loring, 1801. Copper-engraved map, with original outline colour, folded and mounted on linen. Publisher's paper label to verso, in good condition apart from some slight browning. Modern cloth chemise, within a morocco-backed cloth slipcase. A very rare and highly important early map of Massachusetts. The revised and much improved first "official" edition of the most important early map of Massachusetts. In three key ways, this edition is a great improvement over Osgood Carleton's 1798 original which was rejected for official sanction by the government of the Commonwealth. Firstly, the coastline and coastal islands have been more correctly rendered, largely due to the incorporation of information from the charts of Joseph Des Barres. Secondly, roads and streams that had been left incomplete in the earlier map were extended. Thirdly, some of the clutter of the 1798 map, engraved by Carleton's partner, John Norman, was removed, and the map is more attractive and informative, with a…

[COOK] Newton’s new & improved terrestrial pocket globe 1817
by NEWTON FAMILY
- Used
London : John Newton, 1st January 1817. Terrestrial pocket globe, 3 inches in diameter, engraved gores with original hand colour over papier-mâché and plaster sphere, the surface in fine order with a recent wax applied for protection, two metal pins resting the globe in the original publisher's shagreen case, titled Newton's improved pocket celestial globe, with engraved diagrams of the constellations, the lips coloured red, original metal hinge and two hook and eye clasps. A fine example of a rare pocket globe, sitting perfectly within its case. A rare and attractive miniature pocket globe showing Cook's third voyage. John Newton (1759-1844) was the founder of a firm of globe makers in London, established in the 1780s and continuing on, with the involvement of Newton's sons, throughout the nineteenth century. This small terrestrial globe in its original case shows the track of Cook's third voyage of 1776-80, with its return to England under the commands of Clerke and Gore. New Holland is shown separated from Van Diemen's Land, Port Jackson and Botany Bay are marked, and interestingly 'French Discoveries' are captioned along the South Australian coastline, a reference to the Baudin expedition. An analemma is drawn over the Pacific Ocean and the 'Antipodes of London' are marked south of New Zealand. References: Dekker, Elly, et al.
