Engraved and published by Thomas Jefferys, Benjamin Donn's map of Devon represents a high-point in 18th Century English County maps, combining the new science of surveying, with the artistry of copper engraving to create this fine map. Executed on 12-sheets, this map covers the entirety of Devonshire or Devon from the English Channel to Barnstaple (Bideford) Bay and from Cornwall to Somerset at a scale of 1 inch to 1 mile. Donn also incorporates large insets of Exeter (showing the college), Plymouth, Plymouth Dock, Stoke Town, and the Isle of Lundy. The map is finished with a decorative title cartouche. In 1759, the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts, Manufacturers, and Commerce (the Royal Society for the Arts, beginning in 1847), began offering a £100 award for a large scale one inch to the mile map of any English county, at the suggestion of the Cornish antiquarian William Borlase. Benjamin Donn was the first to win the award, with this finely executed 12 sheet map. Although Donn estimated the cost of preparing the map at £2000, the prestige of issuing the first large scale British county map assured the success of his work. Donn dedicated his map to John Baring of Mount-Radford and Matthew Lee of Ebford, local notables who may have helped Donn finance his survey work. Most examples of this map appear bound in atlas format with a single fold, and are generally found either uncolored or in outline color. Donn charged 2 extra shillings for binding and 5 extra for coloring. The present example appears to have been laid on linen and bound in plano, assuring its survival in such fine condition. Benjamin Donn (aka Benjamin Donne), was a British cartographer, surveyor and mathematician Donn was born into a family of respected mathematicians, including his father and older brother. Gentleman's Magazine (No. 74, p499) called his father George "one of the best teachers of arithmetic, navigation and dialling, in his time." In 1768, Donn was elected librarian of the Bristol Library, where he unsuccessfully proposed to convert the library into a mathematical academy. Late, he founded his own private mathematical academy in Bristol. Donn’s is best known for his 1765 large wall map of Devonshire, based a survey which he undertook at his own expense, and which won the award of £100 from the Royal Society for the Arts. He produced a number of other local and regional maps, as well as several "scientific" charts, including The Analemma Improved by B Donn, in 1770, and his virtually unrecorded Ge-Organon. He also published mathematical texts likely related to his mathematical school in Bristol." (Ruderman, 2022)

"Benjamin Donn's 12-sheet map of Devon was the first map to win the Royal Society of Arts award for the best 1 inch to a mile survey of an English county, and the first large-scale printed map of Devon.

Covers to A chronological and historical chart of modern Europe. Bound in marbled papers with gray fabric spine. Sewn binding., A chronological and historical chart of modern Europe, from the year A.D. 827 to 1830, published in London by R.B. Seeley and W. Burnside in 1832. Printed by Mills, Jowett, and Mills, Bolt-Court, Fleet-Street; and sold by L.B. Seeley and Sons, Fleet Street. Oblong folio. Bound in board covered in marbled paper, and with a cloth spine. Volume includes a title page, dedication to the Duchess of Beaufort, a list of subscribers and an errata slip pasted to the verso of back cover. The chronological and historical chart - or timeline - spans 7 double pages (unpaginated). It shows, in parallel columns, the Kings, Queens and other “notable events [and] characters” in European nations such as England, France, and Poland, from the years 827 to 1831 CE. First edition and likely a subscriber’s copy, with the pencil ownership inscription of “Lady Jane” on the the top right corner of the front free endpaper. The list of subscribers names “The Right Hon. Lady Jane Howard.” In addition, the dedication page bears an ink annotation.

This is one of Arrowsmith's largest scale maps, showing England and Wales in great detail. The individual sheets were sold separately by Arrowsmith. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights. Depths shown by soundings on some sheets. Printed in 18 numbered sections on 17 sheets. Sections 17 and 18 printed on same sheet. Includes text, diagram of longitude/­latitude grid, statistical table of county areas, and diagram of "Scales shewing the unequal shrinking of paper." (Sheet 6). 1 in. to 3 English statute miles.

First issued in 1815, the map was revised in 1816 and 1818. The map contains a grid illustrating how the lines of Longitude and Latitude were constructed from the map. At the top left, sections of Scotland and Ireland are shown in outline, to illustrate the contiguous regions which are not the subject of the map. There is also an unusual diagram entitled "Scales Shewing The Unequal Shrinking of Paper." The purpose of this diagram was to address the problem faced by makers of printed maps, that all paper shrinks as part of the process of creating and printing on paper. For example, Philippe Buache calculated that a manuscript map should be enlarged by 1/60th to account for shrinkage when the map design was transferred to a copperplate, to account for paper shrinkage. In the explanatory note, Arrowsmith writes: This Map of England and Wales is delineated according to a Scale of One Inch to Three English Statute Miles. The size of each Sheet of the Paper on which it is printed is 40 Inches by 29 Inches. The Map will require 15 whole Sheets of the above Size, and 3 Half Sheets.

The Scale A.A. is too large as measured E. and W. but applies correctly N. & S.; and the Scale B.B. is too small as measured N. & S. but applies correctly E. and W. For the purpose of ascertaining the Area of the several Counties, the Outlines were correctly traced, and the Fractional parts of the Square Miles on the different sides of the Outline, differently coloured: By which contrivance the Area of the whole to the Fractional part of a Square Mile shown by the subdivided parts of each County. The entire Square Miles were numbered at each Hundred, and the fractional parts of Square Miles afterwards added. The dimensions of each Sheet of Paper according to the Scale would contain 10,440, Square Statute Miles, and in the view of ascertaining whether the Area of the Map, or of its parts, might be safely inferred from the Weight of the Paper, Fifteen Sheets taken out of the Middle of a Ream, completely dry, were accurately weighed, but were found to differ as 18 to 18.5; the heaviest weighing 18 3/4 oz.

First issued in 1815, the map was revised in 1816 and 1818. The map contains a grid illustrating how the lines of Longitude and Latitude were constructed from the map. At the top left, sections of Scotland and Ireland are shown in outline, to illustrate the contiguous regions which are not the subject of the map. There is also an unusual diagram entitled "Scales Shewing The Unequal Shrinking of Paper." The purpose of this diagram was to address the problem faced by makers of printed maps, that all paper shrinks as part of the process of creating and printing on paper. For example, Philippe Buache calculated that a manuscript map should be enlarged by 1/60th to account for shrinkage when the map design was transferred to a copperplate, to account for paper shrinkage. In the explanatory note, Arrowsmith writes: This Map of England and Wales is delineated according to a Scale of One Inch to Three English Statute Miles. The size of each Sheet of the Paper on which it is printed is 40 Inches by 29 Inches. The Map will require 15 whole Sheets of the above Size, and 3 Half Sheets.

The Scale A.A. is too large as measured E. and W. but applies correctly N. & S.; and the Scale B.B. is too small as measured N. & S. but applies correctly E. and W. For the purpose of ascertaining the Area of the several Counties, the Outlines were correctly traced, and the Fractional parts of the Square Miles on the different sides of the Outline, differently coloured: By which contrivance the Area of the whole to the Fractional part of a Square Mile shown by the subdivided parts of each County. The entire Square Miles were numbered at each Hundred, and the fractional parts of Square Miles afterwards added. The dimensions of each Sheet of Paper according to the Scale would contain 10,440, Square Statute Miles, and in the view of ascertaining whether the Area of the Map, or of its parts, might be safely inferred from the Weight of the Paper, Fifteen Sheets taken out of the Middle of a Ream, completely dry, were accurately weighed, but were found to differ as 18 to 18.5; the heaviest weighing 18 3/4 oz.

First issued in 1815, the map was revised in 1816 and 1818. The map contains a grid illustrating how the lines of Longitude and Latitude were constructed from the map. At the top left, sections of Scotland and Ireland are shown in outline, to illustrate the contiguous regions which are not the subject of the map. There is also an unusual diagram entitled "Scales Shewing The Unequal Shrinking of Paper." The purpose of this diagram was to address the problem faced by makers of printed maps, that all paper shrinks as part of the process of creating and printing on paper. For example, Philippe Buache calculated that a manuscript map should be enlarged by 1/60th to account for shrinkage when the map design was transferred to a copperplate, to account for paper shrinkage. In the explanatory note, Arrowsmith writes: This Map of England and Wales is delineated according to a Scale of One Inch to Three English Statute Miles. The size of each Sheet of the Paper on which it is printed is 40 Inches by 29 Inches. The Map will require 15 whole Sheets of the above Size, and 3 Half Sheets.

The Scale A.A. is too large as measured E. and W. but applies correctly N. & S.; and the Scale B.B. is too small as measured N. & S. but applies correctly E. and W. For the purpose of ascertaining the Area of the several Counties, the Outlines were correctly traced, and the Fractional parts of the Square Miles on the different sides of the Outline, differently coloured: By which contrivance the Area of the whole to the Fractional part of a Square Mile shown by the subdivided parts of each County. The entire Square Miles were numbered at each Hundred, and the fractional parts of Square Miles afterwards added. The dimensions of each Sheet of Paper according to the Scale would contain 10,440, Square Statute Miles, and in the view of ascertaining whether the Area of the Map, or of its parts, might be safely inferred from the Weight of the Paper, Fifteen Sheets taken out of the Middle of a Ream, completely dry, were accurately weighed, but were found to differ as 18 to 18.5; the heaviest weighing 18 3/4 oz.

The individual sheets were sold separately by Arrowsmith. Relief shown by hachures and spot heights. Depths shown by soundings on some sheets. Printed in 18 numbered sections on 17 sheets. Sections 17 and 18 printed on same sheet. Includes text, diagram of longitude/­latitude grid, statistical table of county areas, and diagram of "Scales shewing the unequal shrinking of paper." (Sheet 6). 1 in. to 3 English statute miles. This is the updated edition published in 1818. This copy issued dissected on linen; also issued in atlas form (National Library of Australia copy) See our 1820 copy 6713.000 ."Mammoth map of England and Wales, prepared by England's most revered 19th Century mapmaker, Aaron Arrowsmith. First issued in 1815, the map was revised in 1816 and 1818. The map contains a grid illustrating how the lines of Longitude and Latitude were constructed from the map. At the top left, sections of Scotland and Ireland are shown in outline, to illustrate the contiguous regions which are not the subject of the map. There is also an unusual diagram entitled "Scales Shewing The Unequal Shrinking of Paper." The purpose of this diagram was to address the problem faced by makers of printed maps, that all paper shrinks as part of the process of creating and printing on paper. For example, Philippe Buache calculated that a manuscript map should be enlarged by 1/60th to account for shrinkage when the map design was transferred to a copperplate, to account for paper shrinkage. In the explanatory note, Arrowsmith writes: This Map of England and Wales is delineated according to a Scale of One Inch to Three English Statute Miles. The size of each Sheet of the Paper on which it is printed is 40 Inches by 29 Inches. The Map will require 15 whole Sheets of the above Size, and 3 Half Sheets. These when carefully pasted together, and laid on a good plain Surface, will form the Map. The Sheets are to be connected by the Lines of Latitude E. and W. and parallel to the Centre, the sides of the Squares parallel to the Meridian N. and S. The two corrected Scales A.A. and B.B. on Sheet No.6. The Scale A.A. is too large as measured E. and W. but applies correctly N. & S.; and the Scale B.B. is too small as measured N. & S. but applies correctly E. and W. For the purpose of ascertaining the Area of the several Counties, the Outlines were correctly traced, and the Fractional parts of the Square Miles on the different sides of the Outline, differently coloured: By which contrivance the Area of the whole to the Fractional part of a Square Mile shown by the subdivided parts of each County. The entire Square Miles were numbered at each Hundred, and the fractional parts of Square Miles afterwards added. The dimensions of each Sheet of Paper according to the Scale would contain 10,440, Square Statute Miles, and in the view of ascertaining whether the Area of the Map, or of its parts, might be safely inferred from the Weight of the Paper, Fifteen Sheets taken out of the Middle of a Ream, completely dry, were accurately weighed, but were found to differ as 18 to 18.5; the heaviest weighing 18 3/4 oz. Troy; the lightest 18 oz.; wherefore the Area computed according to the weight of the Paper would be liable to Error of nearly one fifth part. The map is apparently rare.

Covers to Thoughts on the present state of French politics, and the necessity and policy of diminishing France, for her internal peace, and to secure the tranquility of Europe. Bound in board, covered in marbled papers. Gilt title on leather spine., Thoughts on the present state of French politics, and the necessity and policy of diminishing France, for her internal peace, and to secure the tranquility of Europe by William Playfair. Published by John Stockdale in London, 1793. Bound in board, covered in marbled papers. Gilt title on leather spine. Pagination begins with Roman numerals and continues with Arabic numerals, together amounting to 188 pages. The first part of the book includes a title page, two dedications, a table of contents, and a map of proposed divisions of France by Playfair. As illustrated in the map, the author suggests gifting sections of the country to its neighbors “as an indemnity for expenses occasioned by France” during the Revolution. The second part, with its own title page, includes an essay by General Henry Lloyd on how to protect and defend an invasion of Britain by France, entitled, A rhapsody on the present system of French politics; on the projected invasion, and the means to defeat it. The latter section includes a map of the English Channel. Playfair is widely regarded as a founder of modern data visualization, having invented the pie chart, bar graph, and line graph. This work comes after his participating in, and becoming disillusioned by, the French Revolution. Essay author General Lloyd was an army officer and military theorist. He fought variously for the French, English, Prussian, Austrian, and Russian armies, changing allegiances several times.

"Benjamin Donn's 12-sheet map of Devon was the first map to win the Royal Society of Arts award for the best 1 inch to a mile survey of an English county, and the first large-scale printed map of Devon. Engraved and published by Thomas Jefferys, Benjamin Donn's map of Devon represents a high-point in 18th Century English County maps, combining the new science of surveying, with the artistry of copper engraving to create this fine map. Executed on 12-sheets, this map covers the entirety of Devonshire or Devon from the English Channel to Barnstaple (Bideford) Bay and from Cornwall to Somerset at a scale of 1 inch to 1 mile. Donn also incorporates large insets of Exeter (showing the college), Plymouth, Plymouth Dock, Stoke Town, and the Isle of Lundy. The map is finished with a decorative title cartouche. In 1759, the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts, Manufacturers, and Commerce (the Royal Society for the Arts, beginning in 1847), began offering a £100 award for a large scale one inch to the mile map of any English county, at the suggestion of the Cornish antiquarian William Borlase. Benjamin Donn was the first to win the award, with this finely executed 12 sheet map. Although Donn estimated the cost of preparing the map at £2000, the prestige of issuing the first large scale British county map assured the success of his work. Donn dedicated his map to John Baring of Mount-Radford and Matthew Lee of Ebford, local notables who may have helped Donn finance his survey work. Most examples of this map appear bound in atlas format with a single fold, and are generally found either uncolored or in outline color. Donn charged 2 extra shillings for binding and 5 extra for coloring. The present example appears to have been laid on linen and bound in plano, assuring its survival in such fine condition. Benjamin Donn (aka Benjamin Donne), was a British cartographer, surveyor and mathematician Donn was born into a family of respected mathematicians, including his father and older brother. Gentleman's Magazine (No. 74, p499) called his father George "one of the best teachers of arithmetic, navigation and dialling, in his time." In 1768, Donn was elected librarian of the Bristol Library, where he unsuccessfully proposed to convert the library into a mathematical academy. Late, he founded his own private mathematical academy in Bristol. Donn’s is best known for his 1765 large wall map of Devonshire, based a survey which he undertook at his own expense, and which won the award of £100 from the Royal Society for the Arts. He produced a number of other local and regional maps, as well as several "scientific" charts, including The Analemma Improved by B Donn, in 1770, and his virtually unrecorded Ge-Organon. He also published mathematical texts likely related to his mathematical school in Bristol." (Ruderman, 2022)

William Faden was a partner in the Jeffreys’ cartographic firm. “With the onset of peace and his reputation made, Faden had the necessary capital and contacts to expand the range of maps he offered. The War of the French Directory was a further opportunity for Faden. This atlas was evidently prepared around 1794, the latest date found on any of the maps, with the European section buttressed by a range of rare Faden maps issued to illustrate the theaters of war, including the plan of the environs of Toulon, his re-issues of the index map to Dury’s wall-map of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the sheet with insets of Corsica and Sardinia from Dury’s wall-map of the Genoese states, as well as general maps of France, the Low Countries and Delarochette’s map of the English Channel from 1794. The additional maps of England and Spain bear the imprint of Sayer; Asia, Africa Egypt, America and the West Indies are from the stock of Laurie and Whittle, all used in editions of the Sayer/Laurie and Whittle General atlas. Among other highlights in this atlas are Delarochette’s map of Cape Providence (1782), Henry Robert’s maps of the world and the northwest coast of America based upon the discoveries of Cook’s voyages (1784) and Faden’s map of the United States, the second of two states dated 1793, with numerous additions within the map, marking the short-lived state of Franklinia.” (Notes taken from dealer.)
