(Title Page to) Geographical exercises, calculated to facilitate the study of geography, and, by an expeditious method, to imprint a knowledge of the science on the minds of youth. With a concise introduction, explaining the principles of geography. By William Faden.

2835B |
| Note |
Includes engraved illustration of globe, telescope, anchor, building and ships. Atlas of 9 completed and 9 outline maps. The maps are beautifully executed and quite large. According to Faden in the preface, this was a project begun by Jefferys before his death in 1771 and now completed by Faden. Faden also says that Henry Peacham used outline maps for teaching in the early part of the 17th century, but that they had not been used since then, at least in England (see our copy of Courcillon de Dangeau's teaching atlas of 1693 which used outline maps). There is an introduction which explains basic geographical principals and map drawing. The maps are dated 1773-76. The World Map on Mercator's Projection includes Cook's tracks. Scarce. Not listed in Phillips, NMM, World, Tooley. Faden published an Atlas Minimus for the use of schools in 1798 (Phillips 690), but the format was much smaller and did not use outline maps -- it was an atlas with 55 maps. W.H. has a later edition with several maps dated 1783. B. McC. has a copy that a copy that is similar to ours, but Jeffrey's name has been removed from all but the America map, probably indicating a slightly later date than this one. All three copies are dated 1777 on the title page. Maps have outline color. Bound in half leather marbled paper covered boards with "Faden's geography for youth" stamped in gilt on the spine. |
