1792 Guthrie ATLAS & Geography 21 MAPS Illustrated Navigation America Asia India
William Guthrie was well known during the mid-18th-century for his many contributions to world history, especially through his extensive and thorough books. As a Scottish historian, he published one of the world's best and most popular geography texts of the 18th-century.
This truly impressive 1792 single-volume edition is illustrated with 21 maps! Other interesting inclusions of note:

Chronological table/list of world events

An illustration of an armillary sphere
