"Cosmographie In Foure Bookes Contayning The Chorograhie & Historie Of The Whole World, And All The Principall Kingdomes, Provinces, Seas, And Isles, Thereof. By Peter Heylyn ... The 3d Edition Corrected & Inlarged By The Author. London Printed For Anne Seile Over Against St. Dunstans Church In Fleetstreete 1666." Henry Seile had first publsihed Heylyn's cosmography in 1652 with maps of each of the continents engraved by Will Trevethen. For the 1663 edition, and editions thereafter, Henry's widow Anna had new maps engraved by Robert Vaughan (and Johann Goddard in the case of the map of Asia) for her publication of the work. All the maps are distinctive and attractive, and the map of the Americas includes the cartographical misconception of California as an island. A fascinating explanationof the state of geographic knowledge at this time.
