'Geography Rectified: or, A Description of the World, In all its Kingdoms, Provinces, Countries, Islands, Cities, Towns, Seas, Rivers, Bays, Capes, Ports; Their Ancient and Present Names, Inhabitants, Situations, Histories, Customs, Governments, &c. ... Illustrated with Seventy eight Maps. The Fourth Edition, Enlarged... By Robert Morden.'
The title page of Robert Morden's Geography Rectified: or, A Description of the World in its enlarged fourth edition, London 1700 — the source of Morden's miniature maps and a natural companion to any of them. Printed in red and black within double rules, it advertises the work's seventy-eight maps and its comparison of foreign "Commodities, Coins, Weights, and Measures" with those at London, and carries the imprint for R. Morden and T. Cockerill, sold by M. Fabian in Mercers' Chapel Porch, Cheapside, and Ralph Smith at the Bible under the Exchange in Cornhill. Morden, at the Atlas in Cornhill, was one of London's leading mapsellers; this compendium ran through four editions between 1680 and 1700. Printed text complete; edges frayed, with small losses to the blank margins.
