About This Item
New York and London : Octagon/Frank Cass , 1965. 1965 Reprint of 1912 1st Edition.The period dealt with in this book lies for the most part outside what has been well termed the Age of Great Discoveries, and has in consequence met with less attention, perhaps, than it deserves. While the main episodes have formed the theme of many and competent writers, few attempts have been made to present such a connected view of the whole course of Geographical Discovery. Within the limits here adopted, as might bring out the precise position occupied by each separate achievement in relation to the General advance of knowledge. It is this task, which is being attempted in the present volume. The reasons which give a certain unity to the period are discussed in the following pages, but it may be briefly characterized here as that in which, after the decline of Spain and Portugal, the main outlines of the world map were completed by their successors among the nations of Europe. 475pp including maps and index. 1965 Cass/ Octagon Fasimile Reprint of the 1912 First Edition Please Email for further details or Direct Enquiries Tel : 01822 810108..
