OCLC: 57296131 Speed, John (15521629), historian and cartographer, was born in 1552 in Farndon, Cheshire. His father was also called John and was a member of the Merchant Taylors' Company; his mother was Elizabeth Cheynye. He was brought up in his father's trade and in 1580 was himself admitted into the Merchant Taylors' Company. At this time he also speculated in property and acquired a number of sites through the patronage of the Taylors' Company and through Sir Fulke Greville, first Lord Brooke. However, although Speed is regarded as the first English historian, as opposed to chronicler or annalist, it is through his hobby that he is best known; he made maps of English counties in his spare time. In 1598 he presented a number to Queen Elizabeth and in 1600 others to the Merchant Taylors' Company. Speed became a recognised and skilled cartographer his insertion of town plans into his maps in particular was a distinctive feature. In 1607 he copied John Norden's map of Surrey for William Camden's Britannia, and in 160810 published a series of fifty-four maps of England and Wales. These were issued in 1611 as his famous Theatre of the empire of Great Britain. In 1608 the publisher George Humble was granted the twenty-nine-year privilege to print this book 'compiled by John Speed' (CSPD, 160310, 425). It was reprinted in 1614 and 1627 and brought out in a Latin version in 1616 and 1646. [Dictionary of Irish Biography]. N° de réf. du vendeur 28530
