From “Atlas Methodique” published by Nourse & Vaillant in London, 1754. Detailed coastlines but nothing in the continental interior other than the largest rivers and names of nations. This was so that students could fill in the details themselves to learn from. Palairet tutored the children of George II and George III, and represented the Dutch Estates-General.
