Seventeenth-Century Jesuit Explorers’ Maps of the Great Lakes and Their Influence on Subsequent Cartography of the Region
When the French coureurs des bois and missionaries began to penetrate the interior of North America around the middle of the seventeenth century, they were confronted with a hydrological system of remarkable complexity, unique in the world. Some hints of the relationship of the five Great Lakes had been garnered by Samuel de Champlain in the early part of the century, but the western Great Lakes remained virtually unknown to Europeans about 1650.…

Genevieve Carlton. Worldly Consumers: The Demand for Maps in Renaissance Italy .Mark Rosen. The Mapping of Power in Renaissance Italy: Painted Cartographic Cycles in Social and Intellectual Context
At first sight, these two books, both about the novel influence of maps in Renaissance Italy, might seem to overlap. But, in fact, they are neatly complementary; while one (Worldly Consumers: The Demand for Maps in Renaissance Italy) deals with maps printed on paper, the other (The Mapping of Power in Renaissance Italy: Painted Cartographic Cycles in Social and Intellectual Context) is concerned with maps painted on walls. Both consistently refer…

The Cartographic Technique of Samuel de Champlain
Juan De Bolas And His Pelinco
There is a prevailing notion, initiated perhaps by Edward Long, that the sources for the history of Jamaica during the 1 7th and 1 8th centuries are very thin, One hears it said for instance, that a good deal of licence is possible in writing about Juan de Bolas 'since we really know so little about him', The aim of this article is to demonstrate the falsehood of this belief, at least in this particular case, and to set out the facts of Juan de B…
The Geographic Revolution in Early America; Maps, Literacy, and National Identity
rapid rise in popularity of maps and geography handbooks in the eighteenth century ushered in a new geographic literacy among non elite Americans. In a path breaking and richly illustrated examination of this transformation, Martin Bruckner argues that geographic literacy as it was played out in popular literary genres significantly influenced the formation of identity in from the 1680s to the 1820s. Drawing on historical geography, cartography, …

Monarchs, Ministers, and Maps: The Emergence of Cartography as a Tool of Government in Early Modern Europe
In the sixteenth century, European rulers attempting to consolidate their power realized that better knowledge of their lands would strengthen their control over them. By 1550, the cartographer's art had already become an important instrument for bringing territories under the control of centralized government; increasing governmental reliance on maps stimulated the refinement of cartographic techniques throughout the following century. This volu…

The history of the intendants , so important to the understanding of France during the latter two centuries of the ancien régime, remains unwritten. There are of course particular studies of various great intendants of Louis XIV and of Louis XV, but the institution as a whole remains astonishingly ill-known, and this is especially true of its early years.

Port Royal, Jamaica
The modern-day town of Port Royal, Jamaica, bears little evidence of its spectacular past. In Port Royal Jamaica, Pawson and Buisseret detail the establishment of the town of Port Royal in the second half of the seventeenth century, in the heyday of privateering. The town was critical to the successful colonization of Jamaica by the British and pivotal to British mercantile activity, but is best known for the activities of its swashbuckling pirat…

Les budgets de Henri IV
Dans le numéro des Annales E.S.C. de mars-avril 1978 est paru un article d'Alain Guéry, ' Les finances de la monarchie française sous l'Ancien Régime '.

The authors write authoritatively and crisply . . . . How to use maps in teaching is spelled out carefully, but the authors also manage to sketch in the background of American mapping so the book is both a manual and a history. Commentaries are sprinkled with stimulating new ideas, for instance on how to use bird's-eye views and country atlases in the classroom, and there are didactic discussions on maps showing the walking city and the impact of…
