Some Consideration on School Atlases in England

Atlas Cartography In Prerevolutionary Russia

The author, a specialist in the history of Russian atlas cartography (Tsarist and Soviet), surveys the evolution of prerevolutionary atlases from the simple, crude, general, and unprinted works of the 17th century to the complex, accurate, thematic, and printed works of the 19th century. The making of better atlases was stimulated by Peter the Great's attempts to modernize his country in the early 18th century; the geographic grid replaced the hydrographic network as a base with the amassing of astronomic observations throughout the vast territory of the Russian Empire. In the 19th century private entrepreneurs began to compile atlases, especially school and world atlases. The publication of sector atlases was spurred by the intensification of capitalism during the last half of the 1800's. L'auteur, spécialiste de l'histoire de la cartographie relative à la réalisation des atlas russes – tsaristes et soviétiques – procède à l'étude de l'évolution des atlas établis avant la révolution à partir de manuscrits simples, rudimentaires et généraux du 17e siècle jusqu'aux travaux complexes, précis, thématiques et imprimés du 19e siècle. Pierre Le Grand a encouragé la réalisation d'atlas plus perfectionnés alors qu'il cherchait à moderniser son pays, au début du 18e siècle; le quadrillage géographique a remplacé le réseau hydrographique en tant que base pouvant accumuler des observations astronomiques recueillies au travers du grand territoire de l'Empire russe. Au 19e siècle, le secteur privé a commencé la compilation d'atlas, pour la plupart scolaires et mondiaux. La publication d'atlas de divers secteurs a été grandement encouragée par le renforcement du capitalisme au cours de la seconde moitié du 18e siècle.

Eighteenth-Century French Policies Toward Senegal: The Ministry of Choiseul

It is customary for historians to distinguish between two French colonial empires. The first had its origins in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries; it blossomed under Colbert and his successors and collapsed in the Seven Years' War. The second, different in nature from the first and immensely more extensive, was tacked on in the early nineteenth century to the tattered remains of its earlier counterpart; it exploded its boundaries in the last quarter of the century, spreading the school atlas' green of French possessions to all areas of the globe and more particularly to North and West Africa, and was displaced, more or less forcefully, in the middle of the twentieth century, by the new nations of the Third World. The Seven Years' War (1756-1763), the most disastrous colonial war the French fought in the eighteenth century, and the era of the French Revolution, which saw the few remaining French colonies fall to the British, mark the extremities of the hiatus separating these two empires. With certain variations, the chronology of most modern empires follows the French model, leading historians and theoreticians to ponder over the causes for these changes. Numerous explanations have been given, but, in all cases, analysts of the phenomenon whether economic or political determinists have been struck by the sudden and vast increase which characterized the modern empires.' It is this ability of Europeans to control entire continents (Africa and Asia in particular) which made nineteenth-century masters appear so infinitely more powerful than their predecessors.

Cartographic Information—a Fundamental Concept and Term in Modern Cartography

AbstractAn examination is made of the theoretical relationship between the processes of map use and of map making, in which the map is regarded as a communication system. This has developed from practical work originally done with regard to a series of school atlases in Czechoslovakia. A Commission on 'Cartographic Information' is recommended.

The Present State of Czechoslovak Cartographic Production

This paper gives a list of new cartographic works issued since the last congress of the Czechoslovak Geographical Society by the Central Office of Geodesy and Cartography (ÚSGK) which has concentrated all civil cartographic production in ČSR for several years now. At the same time, it informs us on the most up-to-date problems in cartographic production. Compiled according to the purpose they serve there are three main groups of maps: maps for economic development, school maps and maps for public use. To the first group belong topographical maps compiled in the scale of 1 : 10 000 and 1 : 5 000, detailed technical maps and cadastral maps (scale 1 : 1000, 1 : 2000, 1 : 5000), collections of maps of districts and roadways, administrative maps, plans of cities as well as thematic maps and atlases (e. g. aerial maps, Climatic Atlas of ČSR, navigator's charts, etc.). Also a Catalogue of Maps for Economic development is being prepared. The second group - the school maps - have been drawn for the purposes of schools. A series of school atlases had been agreed upon out of which two geographical and one historical atlas have appeared already. Another two atlases will appear before long. Also physical-political, economic and historical wall-maps, globes, plastical maps and other cartographic classroom means of instruction have been provided. The third group contains widely educational cartographical works, i. s. atlases for general use, political maps, astronomical maps for tourists and sportsmen. Thus The Small Atlas of the World was issued again as well as a collection of political maps, several tourist maps, city plans and a brand new edition of the Road Map of ČSR. Considerable success has been achieved in the compilation of astronomical maps. Also much attention has been paid to the preparation of facsimiles as well as the reproduction of preserved, older maps. Some of the main problems in terminology, which are expected to be solved by the Terminological Committee of the ÚSGK specially appointed for this purpose, are treated in much detail besides problems of proper reproduction of the surface of the terrain on maps making use of the photography of a plastic model; problems of proper compilation of tourist maps, methods of reproduction of economic maps, etc. In the conclusion information is given on the organisation of map production in ČSR, and an appeal is made to all scientific organisations, especially geographers, to lend a hand and cooperate more closely in further compilation of maps.

THE 64 pages of coloured maps in this atlas include physical and political maps of every part of the world, with enlarged maps of Europe and the more important parts of other continents. There are also January and July temperature maps and annual rainfall maps of all continents and the British Isles, geological maps of the British Isles and Europe, and a number of distributional maps of the world. The physical maps are particularly good, and not overcrowded with names. On all maps the projection is given. Although the scales vary a good deal, an attempt has been made to use simple multiples of the scales of the maps of Great Britain. An index of some two thousand names gives reference by latitude and longitude. The world-pressure maps would be improved by southward extension to show the Antarctic high-pressure area, and in the current and vegetation maps some revision is required on the coasts of Greenland. Murmansk, and not Alexandrovsk, is the terminus of the Murman railway.
