AN ATTRACTIVE COPY OF A SCARCE ATLAS, intended to accompany the Histoire philosophique et politique … des Europe´ens dans les deux Indes, first published by abbé Guillaume-Thomas Raynal in Amsterdam in 1770. The double hemisphere world map is by and after A.V. Krerelt and dated 1773. The only other cartographer to be identified is Bellin; his maps, when dated, are much earlier. For example, the Canary Islands bears a 1746 date, West Tartary 1749 and Indoustan 1752. Individual map titles are given in both French and Dutch. cf. Brunet IV, 1126.
