Uncommon, and popular, English pocket geography, first published in 1693, with a series of maps prepared by Robert Morden; for the 1722, and subsequent editions, the publishers commissioned a new set of maps by John Senex, present here. The maps include the world and continents (the Americas on two maps). The map of the world bears an advertisement for Senex’s maps.

It is rare to find the maps in original colour.
