Samuel Pepys FRS (1633-1703) and The Royal Society
Born in London during the reign of Charles I, whose execution he witnessed, Samuel Pepys lived through the Interregnum, the Restoration of the Monarchy and the Glorious Revolution of 1688. He is known to later generations through his secret Diary, first published in 1825, in which he reported such events as the Plague and the Great Fire of London, and on everyday life in seventeenth-century England. But to his contemporaries he was admired as an …
Maps and History
Historical atlases offer an understanding of the past that is invaluable to historians, not only because they convey a previous age's sense of space and distance but also because they reveal what historians and educators thought important to include or omit. This book - the first comprehensive and wide-ranging account of the historical atlas - explores the role, development and nature of this important reference tool and discusses its impact on t…

A Buccaneer's Atlas
In 1680, a band of English buccaneers marched across the Isthmus of Darien from the Atlantic to the Pacific and, off Panama, captured several Spanish vessels, one of which they made their flagship. From this vessel they terrorized Spanish possessions on the west coast of the Americas. On July 29, 1681, they captured another Spanish ship, from which they obtained a derrotero, or book of charts and sailing directions. Their depredations over, the p…

Original Survey and Land Subdivision
A New Method of Terrain Representation
HE oldest method of depicting landforms on maps is to draw perspective or side views of mountains or hills placed in their approximate position on otherwise flat maps. These representations, ranging from the crude sugar loaves of ancient maps to the sophisticated symbolism of present-day physiographic or landform maps, have one major defect in common: the side view of a landform having a vertical dimension requires horizontal space, and on an ord…

Edmond Halley as a Thematic Geo-Cartographer 1
Edmond Halley was one of the leading figures in the Scientific Revolution in England who probably would have enjoyed a greater reputation had he not lived at the same time as Sir Isaac Newton, of whose work Halley was the greatest promoter. In turn, Halley's prediction of the return of the comet which he observed in 1682, at seventy-five year intervals, was based on the planetary physics developed by Newton. It is with this prediction, almost alo…
