226 Maps of Wiltshire. 



John Seller, Hydrographer to Charles II., was a publisher, and com- 

 piler of maps and charts. For many years he lived at the Hermitage, 

 Wapping, and also had a shop in Exchange Alley, Cornhill. 



His principal publications consisted of maritime atlases and charts. 

 In 1671,he published the English Pilots and in 1675, the Atlas Maritimus- 

 The charts in these works were taken, mainly, from Dutch publications, 

 and some were actually printed from the original plates, with the Dutch 

 title erased, and an English title, with Seller's name, substituted. On 

 March 16th, 1671, privilege was granted by the King, for the protection 

 of Seller's atlases and charts, for thirty years. 



The maps in the Atlas of the Counties of England and Wales, issued 

 by Seller, are chiefly reprints from Bassett and Chiswell's edition of 

 Speed's Iheatre of the Empire of Great Britain^ 1676.

A small map showing the main roads with a double line, and the less 

 important roads with a fine single line. The towns and rivers are given, 

 but the scale is too small to allow of details. 



Top left-hand corner, a compass indicator. Bottom left-hand corner, 

 an open pair of compasses standing upon the scale. 



The border is formed by a plain double line. Outside the border, at 



the top, '' Wilt Sh.," and, at the bottom, " Length— 52 ; Bredth — 38 ; 



, ^. , i^n Q r u ^^- from Lon.— 70, 83. 



Circumference— 140. Salisbury | Latitude-51. 4." 



Some of the maps in this atlas are embellished with portraits of notable 

 people, at the right-hand top corner ; and others have large Koman 

 numerals. But the map of Wiltshire in the British Museum has been 

 badly cropped and it is impossible to distinguish its decorative numeral.
