This example also omitting line in Eccles. iv.9 as the previous 3 issues of the same version, Two are better [than one: for they have better] wages for their labour . These Bibles were printed probably in Amsterdam and Dort and adopted by Barker, for the use of English Puritans in the Low Countries. There are many editions bearing this date, which while agreeing closely are yet distinct. No doubt a certain number of copies were originally issued in a mixed state. The nominal date, 1599, is probably untrue in almost every case.

British Isles. Homann (Johann Baptiste, Heirs of), Magna Britannia complectens Angliae, Scotiae et Hyberniae..., circa 1730, engraved map with contemporary hand colouring and some later enhancement, inset map of the Shetland and Orkney Islands, some dust soiling, 500 x 575 mm, together with Moll (Herman).

Wiltshire. Andrews (John & Dury Andrew), A Topographical Map of Wiltshire on a Scale of 2 inches to a mile from an Actual Survey by John Andrews & Andrew Dury in the year 1773, 1st edition, 1773, edition, published 1773, large scale engraved map on eighteen sheets (complete) all with contemporary outline colouring, large uncoloured cartouche, some marginal dust and finger soiling, slight staining and spotting, bound with the index map, 'A Map of Wiltshire (Taken from and Actual Survey) being the Index to the large one', the index map has some spotting, creasing and dust soiling and is frayed and torn with slight loss along the lower margin, later endpapers, late 19th century half calf gilf, some wear to extremities, slim folio (Qty: 1)

Scotland. Elphinstone (John), A New & Correct Mercator's Map of North Britain, Carefully Laid down from the Latest Surveys and Most Approved Observations, printed for A. Millar, March 6th 1745, engraved map with contemporary outline colouring, engraved by Thomas Kitchin, inset map of the Shetland Islands, large black & white martial cartouche and separate dedication cartouche to William Duke of Cumberland, old folds, slight browning and spotting, partially split along old fold, large margins, 680 x 540 mm, together with another copy similar, but trimmed to neat line with some creasing and fraying to image, 675 x 535 mm (Qty: 2)NOTESDuring the Jacobite Rising, the English forces, led by George II’s son, William, Duke of Cumberland pursued Bonnie Prince Charlie's army back across the Scottish border. They arrived at Edinburgh at the end of January 1746, and then ventured north to Aberdeen. The Jacobites fled further north, but Cumberland was in no mood to hurry after them. He was acutely aware of the difficulty of moving troops through the Highland terrain, where roads were few and opportunities for ambush many. The most up-to-date map of Scotland available to both the English and the Jacobite sides was this map by John Elphinstone, a military engineer who served with the Duke of Cumberland's army. Though it was drawn in 1745, and was a great improvement on earlier maps, it nonetheless attracted criticism for its inaccuracies. Elphinstone's depiction of hills, for example, is entirely schematic with none of the detail necessary to thread a route between Highland glens or plan military offensives.

R. Griggs], photo-chromolithographic colour printed copy of the known world on two conjoined sheets, some light staining, 580 x 1390 mm, framed and glazed (Qty: 1)NOTESA scarce later copy of the Propaganda or Second Borgian map, now in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vatican City. Diego Ribero was regarded as the finest cartographer of his day and this magnificent map was produced for the kings of Spain and Portugal. The translation of some of the notes on the map reveal its imperial and economic nature. For example on the coast of Greenland is a note stating 'The English discovered this country. It produces nothing of any value. It was discovered by the English from the city of Bristol.' - a nod to the voyage of John Cabot - and on Newfoundland it states 'The land of cod fish discovered by the Corte Reals and where they were lost. Up to this time nothing of value has been found there, except the fishing of codfish, and these do not amount to much'. These comments and the sometimes spurious accreditation of discoveries to Spanish and Portuguese explorers gave rise to the map being referred to as 'The Propaganda Map'.
