Title continues: Including Those in the Gulf of Venice, Archipelago, Sea of Marmora, and the Levant, Drawn from the French & Italian Surveys of Michelot, Bremond, & Ayrouard ; and from Those of Mess. John Wilson and Joseph Foss Dessiou, Masters in the Royal Navy. Extremely rare complete copy of this title. WorldCat locates one copy at The British Library. Fabulous bookplate for 'Rich Barry Mathematical and Optical Instrument Maker' at front pastedown. William Heather was among the most prominent cartographers of the period. He succeeded Mount and Page in 1765 and then established a Naval Academy and the Naval Warehouse, which provided nautical instruments, charts and instructional texts on navigation. Very Good, front inner hinge cracked but holding, some chipping to leather spine ends, few maps with bit of old ink stain at lower fore-edge corner.
