London : John Nutt [for John Nicholson], The Atlas Geographus was an important English world geography, issued as a partwork between 1708 and 1717, and then assembled in five volumes, dated from 1711 to 1717: Europe in two volumes; volume III Asia, IV Africa and V Americas. While authorship is generally attributed to Herman Moll, he was probably only responsible for supplying the new maps required.   Part 1 was advertised on 18th June, 1708 as ?This Day is Publish?d .?; subsequent parts, priced 1s., were promised monthly, but the final part was only advertised on 2nd March, 1717.   Compared with Shirley?s collation, this set lacks 4 (World), 5 (Europe), 36 (Spain and Portugal), 72 (Africa) and 82 (New Guinea). 63 is replaced by Moll?s map of Persia and 79 by Moll?s map of Guinea. There are additional maps of ?Aegyptus and Cyrene?, ?Mauritania ?? and the ?Sea Coast from Streights of Magellan ?? The complete set is particularly rare, and even individual volumes are very scarce.   Reference: Shirley, T.Moll-3a: calling for 100 sheets (numbered to 101, but 86 omitted), the collation differing (as is not uncommon).

Quarto (220 x 165 mm); [viii], *8, 851pp, eighteen (of nineteen) mostly doublepage or folding engraved maps and plates, lacking the modern map of Asia. Inked ownership inscription dated 1953. Contemporary calf, panelled in blind, remnants of black morocco label to spine. Corners bumped, some wear to extremities of spine. London : John Nutt [for John Nicholson], The Atlas Geographus was an important English geography, issued as a part-work between 1708 and 1717, subsequently assembled into five volumes, dated 1711 to 1717, illustrated with maps, plates and text illustrations. This is the third volume, devoted to Asia; textually it is complete in itself, assembled from 15 parts. The maps include separate delineations of Arabia, Persia (both classical and modern), China, the East Indies and Japan. Publication of the completed volume was announced in the Post Boy for 8th-10th April 1712, but the Daily Courant for 14th April has a fuller notice, giving the price in quires (unbound) as 15s. or 16s. with the maps coloured. The complete set is particularly rare, and even individual volumes are very scarce. References: Shirley, T.Moll-3a, vol. 3, maps 53-71, map 63 correctly replaced by a modern map of Persia.
