In 1715, Moll issued ?The World Described,? a collection of 30 large, double-sided maps, which were initially bound separately and then later sold in the form of atlases in a joint venture between a number of publishers. The series included two of the most famous Moll maps: ?A new and exact map of the dominions of the King of Great Britain? and ?To The Right Honorable John Lord Sommers.This Map of North America According To Ye Newest and Most Exact Observations.? These were distinctive for their elaborate cartouches and are known respectively as the Beaver Map and the Codfish Map; the Beaver Map most notably features in its cartouche a colony of industrious beavers hard at work building a dam. As with much of his work, Moll used these maps to publicize and support British policy and regional claims throughout the world; the Beaver Map indeed contributed to the British-French feud between colony boundaries.List of maps present in the atlas:1.

Three vertical creases where map was folded into atlas. Multiple creases parallel to center fold. Splits in vertical folds have been rebacked. A superb map of France during the reign of Louis XV. This large, marvellous Moll map of France bears his distinctive style and the fruits of his diligence. There is a lengthy, alphabetical index of more than 280 towns giving their distances from Paris as well as names and locations of passes through the Pyrenees. The source for this information was Nicolas de Fer. The depiction of France itself includes the roads and the distances from point to point on those roads in leagues, a relatively new feature in maps. Also noted, by a sword and date, are battle sites in which the English were involved or "mentioned in History" as he puts it. The cartouche includes two emblematic figures dressed for battle, one, Bacchus perhaps, the god of wine, and one loosely draped in a cloth adorned with fleur-de-lys who seems to represent French Royalty and, indirectly, French culture.…

Thomas Brown (1778-1820), medical doctor, poet, lecturer, and philosopher, died prematurely at age 42, and this work was published posthumously in the year of his death. The book proved immensely popular. It ran to no fewer than twenty editions, the last edition being published forty years after its first publication. In 1815 he was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society. "Brown's Lectures was one of the most successful philosophy books of the period, going through twenty editions. The Lectures were widely acknowledged to be the most successful and popular work of their kind ever to have appeared. Henry Cockburn's comments in his Memorials were representative of many similarly positive appraisals. He spoke of Brown's Lectures as one of the most 'delightful books in the English language', which had enjoyed 'unexampled success'. Writing at the end of the century, the British philosopher Robert Adamson wrote of the book, in the Encyclopaedia Britannica: 'It is no exaggeration to say that never before or since has a work on metaphysics been so popular.' McCosh, in his History of the Scottish Philosophy, painted a vivid picture of the immense success, popularity and influence of Brown's lectures in Edinburgh and beyond: "A course so eminently popular among students had not .been delivered in any previous age in the University of Edinburgh, and has not, in a later age, been surpassed . His lectures were published shortly after his death, and excited an interest wherever the English language is spoken, quite equal to that awakened by the living lecturer among the students of Edinburgh. They continued for twenty years to have a popularity in the British dominions and in the United States greater than any philosophical work ever enjoyed before. During these years most students were introduced to metaphysics by the perusal of them, and attractive beyond measure did they find them to be. The writer of this article would give much to have revived within him the enthusiasm which he felt when he first read them . His reputation was at its greatest height from 1830 to 1835, from which date it began to decline, partly because it was seen that his analyses were too ingenious, and his omissions many and great; and partly because new schools were engaging the philosophic mind."
