". OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:79022119.LThe Atlas Curieux is geographic encyclopedia of images and maps of France with detailed views of the grand waterworks at Marly views of the great palaces and chateaux views and plans of the Paris Observatory and samples of military architecture. Issued in six annual parts from 1700-1705 the maps are based on the new observations of the Académie des Sciences and drawn up with the assistance of Philipe de La Hire.Library of Congress:The French cartographer and engraver Nicolas de Fer was a master at creating maps that were works of art. The maps that he published were printed during the Baroque period when the decorative arts were characterized by ornate detail. De Fer’s detailed maps and atlases were valued more for their decorative content than their geographical accuracy.Nicolas de Fer was born in 1646. His father Antoine de Fer owned a mapmaking firm. At the age of twelve Nicolas was apprenticed to a Parisian engraver named Louis Spirinx. The family business was starting to decline when his father died in 1673. Nicolas de Fer’s mother Genevieve took over the business after the death of her husband. In 1687 the business was passed on to Nicolas and the profits increased after he took over the firm. Nicolas de Fer was a prolific cartographer who produced atlases and hundreds of single maps. He eventually became the official geographer to King Louis XIV of France and King Philip V of Spain.One of de Fer’s major works is an atlas titled L’atlas curieux The curious atlas.

141328 Leigh St Burton Crescent London1 Dec. no year. Two pages 12mo bifolium tipped on to larger piece of paper substantial good condition. "My dear Sir.- I have alled on you twice . Mr Roscoe tells me that it is decided by you Mr Campbell & Mr Colburn that Mr Galiano see Note 2 below should write an Article for the New Monthly - on the subject of Spanish romance - taking as a text my romances - Of course this is highly desirable & I have no doubt Mr Galiano would do justice to the subject which I think will be interesting - But as I have already spoken to Mr Galiano about the other article - I think the communication would come with a better grace from you & Mr Roscoe - as I was unsuccessful in the first negotiation & besides as my 'Castilian' a work of his is to be noticed in the same article that the propposal should come from a third person. Will you write me a word or appoint a meeting - Is the article to be for this or for the next month - because if it is the first case there's no time to be lost."WITH: two copies of the cartoon of Trueba y Cosio that appeared in Maclise's "Gallery of Literary Characters" in "Fraser's Magazine" as "The Author of 'The Exquisites' a farce published in 1832 by Bentley with a copy of the accompanying letterpress in which it is claimed he is English not Spanish and his work e.g. "The Exquisites or a new portraiture of exclusive society" slated.Notes:1. He contributed to the autobiographical collection "Our Exile in England: autobiographical sketches of Spanish Refugees" in the "New Monthly Magazine" vol.44.44-49 May 1835 and "The Spanish Novelists" in the "Foreign Quarterly Review" vol.2:486-511 June 1828; 2. Antonio Galiano "Born June 22 1789 in Cadiz; died Apr. 11 1865 in Madrid. Spanish political figure; participant in the military uprising of R. Riego y Núñez which led to the reestablishment of the constitutional structure in Spain 1820. During the revolution of 1820–23 Alcalá Galiano was one of the prominent leaders of the Exaltados. Between 1822 and 1823 he served as deputy in the Cortes. He opposed the Comuneros—the leftmost wing in the Spanish revolution. After the defeat of the revolution Alcalá Galiano emigrated to England returning after the amnesty of 1834. He joined the moderate party the Moderados. In 1834 he served as minister of the navy and in 1865 as minister of the economy." In fact in collaboration with Sir John Bowring he wrote an article on "Spanish Novels" published in the "Westminster Review" vol. 6.278-303 October 1826 - does this suggest an approximate date for this letter. 8 Leigh St, Burton Crescent, [London]1 Dec.
