The book was written by Richard Walter. Chaplin aboard Ansons flagship, Centurion. In his famous voyage(1740–44) around the world. Anson, in spite of shipwrecks and scurvy, inflicted great damage on Spanish shipping and returned to England with a rich prize.

Appointed then as first lord of the admiralty, he assisted William Pitt, Lord Chatham, in reorganizing naval administration. British navigators in the 1700`s were often interested in more than increasing the glory of God& Country. In September 1740 Commodore Anson set off across the Atlantic with six poorly manned.

1762 Lattre and Janvier Map of the World on a Hemisphere Projection
1762 Lattre and Janvier Map of the World on a Hemisphere Projection WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS- NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Mappe-Monde ou Description du Globe Terrestre. Assujettie aux Observations Astronomiques. Description: A beautiful and impressive map of the world drawn by Jean Janvier in 1762. Depicts the entire world on a double hemisphere projection framed by elaborate baroque cartouchework. North America. Particularly the Northwestern quadrants, are exceptionally interesting and speculative. A magnificent inland sea, called the Sea of the West or in this case the Mer de L'Ouest, is presented in the northwestern part of the America. This body of water, alternatively called the Sea of the West or Baye de l'Ouest, was speculated by Philippe Buache and De l'Isle in the early 18th century based upon wishful thinking, ... moreAmerican Indian stories, and the somewhat questionable 16th century explorations of Juan de Fuca. Here Buache gives the Mer de l'Ouest its fullest expression, though he specifically does not connect it to either the factual network of lakes and rivers extending westward from the Hudson Bay or to the speculative De Fonte network just to the north. This is also one of the few maps to include the speculative'Muller Peninsula' Postulated by the German geographer Gerhard Friedrich Muller, the Muller Peninsula follows the Aleutian Islands roughly in the form of modern day Alaska. Subsequent Navigations by Cook and others would soon disprove the peninsula theory. By contrast the northeast parts of Asia, which had recently been explored by Vitus Bering and Tschirikow, are depicted with a fair approximation of accuracy. Terre de Gama and Terre de la Company, speculative mis-mappings of the Japanese Kuril Islands by the 17th century Dutch explorers Maerten de Vries and Cornelis Jansz Coen, appear just northeast of Yedso(Hokkaido) Gama or Compagnie remained on maps for about 50 years following Bering's voyages until the explorations of Cook confirmed the Bering findings.

Engraver, and map publisher active in the mid to late 18th century. Lattre published a large corpus of maps, globes, and atlases in conjunction with a number of other important French cartographic figures, including Janvier, Zannoni, Bonne and Delamarche. He is also known to have worked with other European cartographers such as William Faden of London and the Italian cartographer Santini. Map piracy and copyright violations were common in 18th century France. Paris court records indicate that Lattre brought charges against several other period map publishers, including fellow Frenchman Desnos and the Italian map engraver Zannoni, both of whom he accused of copying his work. Lattre's offices and bookshop were located at 20 rue St. Jaques, Paris, France. Cartographer: Rigobert Bonne(1727-1795) was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century.
