Où sont 1. Indiquées les Sciences dont la Géographie emprunte plusieurs Principes. 2. La Description des differentes Manieres dont cette Science est Représentée. 3. L'Explication des Termes de toutes les Parties de la Geographie. 4. Une Instruction de toutes les Parties de la Geographie. 4. Une Instruction de l'Usage des Cartes."", pagination comme suit : page de titre, préface (6 pp. non numérotées), avis au lecteur (2 pp. non numérotées), table des chapitres (9 pp. non numérotées, fautes à corriger, extrait du Privilege du Roy, 292 pp., table alphabetique (13 pp. non numérotées), avertissement (5 pp. non numérotées). Le plan de cet ouvrage de 320 pages est composé de trois parties. Dans la première, l'auteur place la géographie dans la cosmoraphie, puis il distingue entre globes et cartes, avant de décrire, comme l'avait fait Lubin, le vocabulaire de la géographie. Guillaume Sanson conclut cette partie par un chapitre sur l'usage des cartes. La deuxième partie s'intéresse aux relations entre l'astronomie et la géographie, décrivant le globe soit par par zones, soit par la grille des latitudes et longitudes. Enfin, la troisième partie, dite de géographie naturelle, rassemble pêle-mêle la liste des découpages du globe, selon les grilles évoquées dans la deuxième partie, puis en fonction des continents et des mers, voire selon d'autres critères comme les géographies historique, politique et sacrée, ou linguistique. La description de l'ensemble des Etats du monde y occupe 20 pages (et semble avoir été inspirée par l'Atlas du monde publié par Nicolas Sanson en 1665). Il s'agit donc d'abord d'une géographie assez théorique qui viserait à faire connaître le vocabulaire ainsi que les catégories de la géographie. Pourquoi cette introduction n'offre-t-elle pas plus de description de la géographie du monde ? Parce que la géographie --comme Guillaume Sanson l'écrit dans la préface-- ""est présentement à la Portée de tout le Monde, puisqu'avec cette méthode il ne faut que des yeux et des cartes"" (Sanson 1682). Deux hypothèses en découlent. La première fait de ce livre avant tout un prospectus pour les cartes des Sanson. La seconde y voit une tentative, par la famille Sanson, de captation de la géographie par la cartographie. De plus, on trouve dans l'édition de 1682 un avertissement passionnant de la main de Sanson, situé après la table alphabétique des matières. Il y critique la ""Méthode pour apprendre facilement la géographie"" de Jacques Robbe (1678), ainsi que la ""Description de Univers contenant les différents systèmes du monde"" à paraître (1683) de Manesson-Mallet, le traitant sans retenue de plagiaire. Plus loin, ayant mis en garde des acheteurs de cartes que les copistes étaient foison, Sanson note qu'il fait encore partie des vivants : ""Quelques uns nous effacent hardiment du nombre des Vivans, d'autres ont voulu persuader que nous estions retournez en Province, & qu'il y en avoit qui avoient eu assez d'effronterie pour prendre notre Nom ; de sorte que nous avons fait mettre à la Teste de cette Introduction Que nous demeurons aux Galleries du Louvre, pour desabuser le Public, & faciliter par là de Dessein de ceux qui voudront nous faire l'honneur de venir chez nous pour s'éclaircir de quelques difficultez, ou pour prendre avis touchant nos Ouvrages qu'ils voudront avoir."" ; quelques épidermures au dos, coiffe supérieure et coins du premier plat un peu usés, par ailleurs intérieur frais, bon état général.

Earliest map of Martinique listed in Phillips featuring attractive original color and an elegant cartouche. This map depicts the situation on the island before 1660 when it was still largely inhabited by natives and only about half of it had been claimed by colonists for sugar cane farming.

However by 1660 the entirety of the native population was either dead expelled or in slavery and Martinique was a full-fledged sugar cane-farming European colony. Phillips Maps P. 389. unknown
