Description
A sea-chart of the Mediterranean with an inset plan of 'Leghorn' (Livorno) in Italy. It is remarkable for the number of coastal towns named.
It was engraved by Seale for Nicolas Tindal's 'Continuation of Mr. Rapin's History of England'. Paul de Rapin's original work had ended with the death of James II in 1701; the three new volumes reached the reign of George II.
