Bibliographic information

Note: Very scarce and unusual map of the world, shown as if the oceans did not exist. Thomas Burnet was the first Englishman to attempt a scientific account of the origin of the earth. His treatise, Telluris Thoeoria Sacra, is a curious blend of geography and archaeology, which aroused considerable interest at the time. California is shown as an Island, but no Northwest passage, an unusual concession for an Englishman of this era.; Map shows World.; Dimensions given in inches.
