About this book
John Ogilby, the king's cosmographer, put together this large description of the New World in London in 1671, collecting it from earlier authors and adding maps and engravings. Its title page promises an account of the first inhabitants and the voyages there, the conquest of Mexico and Peru, the European plantations, and the plants, beasts and birds of the Americas. An appendix surveys what was then known of the unknown southern land and the Arctic. A long catalogue of the authors cited follows the title page.
