Lot 331
A New General Atlas, 1721. A massive English atlas, 21½ x 13", 261pp plus extensive index with complete geographical descriptions of the known world, very extensive geography information of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Lacking title page and maps (with which it would sell in the $30,000 to $40,000 range). Still rare in any state, as the edition was quite low. Original old worn leather board covers, hinges loose but intact. Internally very bright and clean. The descriptions include histories such as that of the Holy Land, the Mogul Empire and China, the large section on Africa, and, of course, the British Empire in North America. Filled with a plethora of town names, rivers, and anecdotal histories.
Estimated Value $600 - 800.
