笔记
First edition of Morden’s miniature atlas of England and Wales.
The authorship of the text is unknown. The maps, although apparently reduced versions of those by Morden in Gibson’s 1695 edition of Camden’s Britannia, may have been drawn and engraved before 1693. Apart from the maps of the Welsh counties, which are ungraduated, the county maps have a marginal graduation in degrees and minute, and longitude at foot, and minutes of time from London at the top. The maps are upon a scale of approximately 60 miles to the degree

MORDEN, Robert c1650 - 1703
Robert Morden was a leading English mapmaker from the last quarter of the eighteenth century; his place and date of birth are not known, but it is thought he came from the north of England, perhaps the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was probably apprenticed to Joseph Moxon, who was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, in the Weavers’ Company, and made free by about 1666.
