Description:
|
A small map of Scotland produced in 1749 by Thomas Jefferys and published in Thomas Salmon's 'A New Geographical and Historical Grammar'. This work went to later editions until 1786, though the map was last included in 1758. Jefferys' map shows the shapes and alignments of Scotland and the islands (especially Lewis) as they were understood before Doret's more exact map of 1750. Hills are inserted imaginatively, usually along shire boundaries which are also indicated by dotted lines. An unusual geese-like formation is apparent east of Barra. Jefferys (1699-1771) was geographer to the Prince of Wales (later George III) as well as a publisher of charts and maps. His works were regarded as both excellent and prolific, particularly those covering North America.
