Geological County Maps. Cary (John), A New Map of Northamptonshire Divided into Hundreds, Exhibiting its Roads, Rivers, Parks &c. [and] A New Map of Huntingdonshire Divided into Hundreds, Exhibiting its Roads, Rivers, Parks &c. 1821, two engraved maps with contemporary outline colouring, both maps toned overall, each approximately 490 x 550 mmQty: (2)Footnote: The noted cartographer, engraver and publisher John Cary (1755-1835) collaborated with William Smith, 'the father of English geology', on a number of his geological projects, notably the 1815 Map and Geological Sections (1817-1819). Cary had previously produced large, topographical county maps for his New and Correct English Atlas and the plates which were being prepared for a new edition were instead adapted to accommodate Smith's detailed geology, the first set of geological maps being issued in 1819. This is a later state which has the engraved annotations identifying the various rock strata to be found within the county but lacks the hand colouring which identifies the geological variations. A note below the map of Huntingdonshire states 'The numbers attached to the description of each stratum refer to the Geological Table of British Organized Fossils, which may be had of the Publisher, Price 1/6s.

Nichols (J. publisher). Antiquities in Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Scotland and Wales. being the Fifth Volume of the Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica,.., 1790, title page detached with old library blind stamp, half-titles throughout, 8 uncoloured engraved plates 6 genealogical tables and 8 uncoloured maps, including G. & W. Patersons "A Survey of Old and New Aberdeen with ye Adjacent Country between ye Rivers Dee and Don..., dated 1746 but most likely a 1790 impression, bookplate of the Free Public Library Wigan, hinges and joints cracked and weak, endpapers detached, near contemporary calf, crude library re-back in cloth with manuscript author's name and the remains of the contemporary morocco label affixed to the spine, scuffed and worn, 4toQty: (1)Footnote: The map of Aberdeen was first published during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 - 46. Aberdeen was held by Lord Lewis Gordon who raised both men and money for the Jacobite cause. The Hanoverian commander sent an army of clansmen to attack Aberdeen and the two armies met at Inverurie - north of Aberdeen - on 23rd December 1745. The Jacobites won the day, the battle taking place just a month before this detailed plan was published. Copac records only two examples of the map of Aberdeen. The British Library's copy is in the King's Topographical Collection, bound with a manuscript version, and The National Library of Scotland's example is bound - as is this example - in volume 5 of the 'Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica'. Other maps contained within this volume include The Isles of Zetland by T. Gifford, and Nichols' Plan of the Stourbridge Fair taken in 1725.
* Rome. Halma (F., & Van der Aa, Petrus), Novissima et Accuratissima Romae Veteris et Novae Tabula Topographica delineatore Joanne Baptista Falda, Utrecht & Leiden, circa 1695, uncoloured engraved city plan with two extensive key plates to 476 locations, decorative cartouche, old folds, 495 x 640 mm, mounted, framed and glazedQty: (1)Footnote: Originally published in J.G. Graevius's Thesaurus Antiquitatum Romanarum.
Southern England & Wales. Hollar (Wenceslaus), Carte de l'Angleterre et d'une Partie d'Ecosse gravée par le celebre Hollar..., John Garrett, circa 1676, large engraved map with contemporary outline colouring, four conjoined sheets, sectionalised and laid on linen, four separate regional title cartouches, slight staining, the whole edged with green silk, 800 x 1210 mm, contained in a contemporary marbled card slipcase with a manuscript title label to the upper coverQty: (1)Footnote: Shirley, Early Printed Maps of the British Isles, 1477 - 1650, 537. Often called 'The Quartermaster's Map', this appears to be an unrecorded edition, which although published in London, has a French title and description, but retains the individual cartouche titles in English. It comprises four (of the six sheets) but was clearly published in this state as a map of southern England and Wales. The map acquired its moniker owing to its usefulness to 'all Commanders for Quarteringe of Souldiers, & all sorts of Persons, that would be informed, Where the Armies be; never so Commodiously drawne before this.' It was used widely during the English Civil War particularly by the Parliamentarians with whom the original publisher Thomas Jenner's sympathies lay. Jenner was a print and map seller who set up in business at the White Bear in Cornhill about 1618. Until the impending Civil War Jenner was not known for cartographic material. Then in 1643, he published a revised edition of the 'Direction for the English Traviller' whose plates he had acquired from his printer Matthew Simmons. Jenner had timed his move perfectly. The demand for maps to help the large numbers of people moving about the country at the time of the Civil War was on the increase. The market for the little atlas clearly proved so great that he was attracted to do more. He engaged the services of the noted engraver Wenceslaus Hollar to etch a reduction of Christopher Saxton's great wall map of 1583, thereby enabling his customers to have a more detailed and yet still portable map of England and Wales.
Brown (Robert Neal Rudmose, R.C. Mossman, and J.H. Harvey Pirie). The Voyage of the "Scotia" - Being a Record of a Voyage of Exploration in Antarctic Seas. By Three of the Staff, 1st edition, London: William Blackwood, 1906, inscribed at head of title to George Lockhart Ross 'from his ever affecte. old friends "The Trio" , Christmas 1906', half-title, 59 plates after photographs, 3 maps (including 2 folding), some light spotting, original publisher's pictorial cloth, top edge gilt, white lettering and blocking to spine no longer visible (as often), extremities very slightly rubbed, 8voQty: (1)Footnote: Rosove 50.

The Scottish National Antarctic Expedition was immensely successful within the scientific sphere, establishing the first meteorological base in the Antarctic as well as discovering important biological and geological specimens.
* Wales. Jenner (Thomas), A Table shewing the distances of the most of the Chiefe Townes in Wales [1643 or later], uncoloured map, engraved by Jacob Van Langeren, set below a triangular mileage table, old folds, 230 x 220 mm, mounted, framed and glazed. together with Van den Keere (Pieter). Wales, circa 1627, hand-coloured engraved miniature map, 80 x 120 mm, mounted, framed and double-glazed, English text on versoQty: (2)Footnote: John Booth, Antique Maps of Wales, 13 & 12. The Jenner/Van Langeren map is scarce as it was not issued in the first three editions and would only appear when Thomas Jenner acquired the plates in 1643. The map is one of only four folding plates within the atlas and its folding nature only adds to its potential vulnerability.

Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman Antiquities from the Cabinet of the Hon. ble Wm Hamilton, His Britannick Maiesty's Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of Naples, volumes I & II only (of 4), Naples: Morelli, 1766-67, 4 hand-coloured engraved titles in English and French, text in English and French, 3 uncoloured engraved dedications, 220 engraved plates (complete) including 94 hand-coloured, of which 22 double-page, a couple of double-page plates close-trimmed with ruled borders just shaved, one or two short closed marginal tears, all edges gilt, later green half morocco by Hatchards, Piccadilly (faded to brown), spines with raised bands and gilt vase decoration in compartments, joints and edges a little rubbed, large folio (47.5 x 37 cm)Qty: (2)Footnote: Blackmer 845; Brunet I, 321; Cohen-de-Ricci 474. According to Blackmer 500 copies were printed of the full set of four volumes, volumes III & IV were later published in 1776 although actually only 100 copies of each of volumes III & IV were published. The relatively large gap in publication dates has resulted in complete sets being rarely found. "This sumptuous work describes Hamilton's first collection of vases, which was sold to the British Museum in 1772. Shortly after his appointment as envoy to Naples in 1764 Hamilton began collecting vases. Hugues, a self-made antiquarian who had worked with Winckelmann and had close connections with the Dilettanti Society, acted as Hamilton's agent and assisted him in amassing his collection in a relatively short period, the basis of which was the purchase of the Greek vases belonging to the Porcarini family in 1766... This work is of great importance in the development of neo-classical designs for pottery and porcelain; it influenced Wedgewood especially." (Blackmer).
