He made globes maps of North America a comprehensive map of European coastlines and the first printed Hebrew language map of The Holy Land. His first teacher was Jodocus Hondius 15631612 a renowned map-maker whose son-in-law was Johannes Janssonius. After Hondius died his son-in-law Jan Janssonius took over Hondius's business and continued the partnership with Goos.

18081609070023Madrid: La Imprenta Real 1808-01-01. Hardcover. Good. 146 p. 68 plates. Original sheep red spine label royal seal on title page. Wear and rubbing to boards some worming later paper label to tail of spine. Hinges cracking slightly marginal dampstain affecting a few plates. <br> This book was issued by the Bourbon Royal Press. It depicts infantry practice and maneuvers of a Napoleonic era army. The Treaty of Fontainebleau 1807 between Charles IV of Spain and Napoleon I of France concerned the occupation of Portugal. Charles IV hoped it would lead to an alliance between the French Empire as in pre-revolutionary times. However six months later Napoleon turned on his new ally. The Spanish Army was ill-equipped and lacked tactical training and this book was a last-ditch effort to improve the state of the Spanish army's training. Overall it was not a success as Napoleon ridiculed the Spanish army as "the worst in Europe" and the British forces who had to work with it agreed. Madrid: La Imprenta Real hardcover

Cropped resulting in loss of text from both sides and with the front of the letter i.e. the side not bearing the signature bearing traces of glue from mount. Otherwise in fair condition lightly aged and worn. Ford begins by stating that Colville's 'letter of the 7th has been to Heavitree his country house near Exeter & back & only reached me this morning'. He continues by explaining that 'The Manzanilla is to be had at Gormans 16. Mark Lane & if you use my name you will be sure to be well served.' In the third edition of his 'Handbook for Travellers in Spain' published later in the year Ford would write: 'Excellent manzanilla is to be procured in London of Gorman 16 Mark Lane. Drink it ye dyspeptics!' The recto of the letter ends here but there is clearly text lacking as a result of the cropping as the letter continues on the reverse: '… day.
