The chart depicts the islands of Mahé and the Amirantes with their shoals, reefs and soundings in some detail, reflecting Grenier’s major contribution to the hydrography of the western Indian Ocean. This is the initial Sayer \u0026amp; Bennett state, preceding the later and more frequently encountered 1794 edition published under the imprint of Sayer's successors, Laurie \u0026amp; Whittle.
