The Mapping of America

R. V. Tooley

Publisher:Holland Press Cartographica.2 & North American Distribution by W. Graham Arader III. 1980. Size: 10" x 7.5" (255mm x 190mm). Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good, some soiling commensurate with age.

This second volume in the Holland Press Cartographica series follows the style and format of volume one. Several of the articles are contributed by Ronald Tooley's friends: Coolie Verner with his Yorktown Campaign and Smith's Virginia; Tony Campbell's revised article on the Jansson-Visscher Maps of New England; Stevens and Tree's Comparative Geography and Skelton's Marine Survey's of James Cook in North America, 1758-1768. Most of the articles were previously published in the Map Collectors Series. An occasional correction or addition has been added, two new articles by Tooley included on The Mapping of the Great Lakes and the identification of the Maps of America in the various editions of the Theatrum of Ortelius respectively, and a comprehensive index to all the numbers and plates supplied.

PREFACE:

This second volume in the Holland Press Cartographica follows the style and format of volume 1 but has this difference: several of the articles are contributed by my friends; Coolie Verner with his Yorktown Campaign and Smith's Virginia; Tony Campbell's Jansson-Visscher Maps of New England based on a collection of 14 issues which I had formed at that time; Stevens and Trees

Comparative Geography; and Skelton's Marine Surveys of James Cook in North America, 1758-1768. This contribution was inspired by many of Cook's early surveys that I had in my possession including the rare collection of charts of Newfoundland and Labrador. Most of the articles appeared in the Map Collectors Series. An occasional correction or addition has been added, two new articles included and a comprehensive index to all the numbers supplied.

My thanks as usual are due to my publishers for their pleasant presentation and to those who consult the volume. I hope they may find it useful and enjoy the pleasure that is to be had from the perusal and study of old maps.

London July 1979
