Description
Using research from both sides of the Atlantic, Stephen Hornsby examines the development of British military cartography in North America during and after the Seven Years War, as well as advancements in military and scientific equipment used in surveying.
At the same time, he follows the land speculation of two leading surveyors, Samuel Holland and J.F.W.
Des Barres, and the publication history of The Atlantic Neptune.
Richly illustrated with images from The Atlantic Neptune and earlier maps, Surveyors of Empire is an insightful account of the relationship between science and imperialism, and the British shaping of the Atlantic world.
