Pub Note:
|
Rare final edition of the Fourth Book of the English Pilot, which was published in five separate books, and was the first major sea-atlas published in England. Furthermore, the Fourth Book was the first wholly English sea-atlas of American waters. The English Pilot, taken as a whole, had a long and complex publishing history that illustrates the development of the chart trade in England during its formative period. Introduced in 1689, by John Thornton and William Fisher, the Fourth Book was the most successful of the five, and had the longest continuous run of editions.
