"Maps in British Periodicals Part II", Jolly, David C.

Widely considered to be the requisite carto-bibliography on the subject of British periodicals, Part II covers "Annuals, Scientific Periodicals and Miscellaneous Magazines Mostly Before 1800." This book is a vital part of any reference library, and provide a wealth of information for all cartography and history enthusiasts. With passages such as "While the continental powers battered themselves to pieces, English fleets calmly cruise the seven seas, plucking off France's colonies in America, Africa, and India like so many fat, juicy plums," Jolly's writings are always as entertaining as they are educating. 317 pp. 8vo., hardbound in red cloth with gilt titles on spine.
