Atlas maritimus & commercialis; or, A general view of the world, so far as relates to trade and navigation Describing all the coasts, ports, harbours, and noted rivers, according to the latest discoveries and most exact observations. Together with a large account of the commerce carried on by sea between the several countries of the world, as likewise of all inland trade by means of navigable rivers; the rise, progress, and decay thereof, in its various branches; with methods for farther improvements. To which are added sailing directions for all the known coasts and islands on the globe; with a sett of sea-charts, some laid down after Mercator, but the greater part according to a new globular projection, adapted for measuring distances (as near as possible) by scale and compass, and authorized by letters patent under the great seal of Great-Britain. The use of the projection justified by Dr. Halley. To which are subjoin'd two large hemispheres on the plane of the equinoctial; containing all the stars in the Britannic catalogue: of great use to sailors for finding the latitude in the night
