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.ibrary 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.

1862réf. 916131862. Poor. 20 cm x 25 cm single sheet folded to make 4 handwritten pages. Large patriotic color Illustration of a bald eagle with 2 U.S. flags occupies top third of first page of stationery. Two horizontal fold mark. Split halfway across on a fold on the last two pages. Pinkish color to much of the letter suggesting old damping. Ink quite faded and generally difficult to read. Many words are so indistinct that it was impossible for us to read them and some other words or phrases are just gone. Her letter is addressed to an otherwise unidentified cousin. Jones does not seem to show on standard lists of Civil War Nurses but the information in this letter suggests that she should. Here is our effort to transcribe this difficult-to-decipher letter: "Your letter of the 21st came to hand in due time but I had about made my mind that you was not going to write to me. I was glad to hear from you and hope that you will not fail to write again. I am well. Hoping you enjoy the same good blessing. We are situated on the same ground we occupied a part of last Fall and Winter. We have been here about four weeks. After spending the summer on the peninsula we are very glad to obtain old ground which seems almost like home. You want to know why I am in the hospital. It is not because I am sick but because others are sick and need care. I am what is termed nurse. My wages are $26.50 per month. The business is by no means delightful but I get along very well. We have got one fellow who is very sick I fear he will not recover. On the Peninsula my health became very poor but now I am well. I wish that I could hear that Grandmother is on the gain but fear I never shall. Tell hear I think of her nearly all of the time and and want to see but if I fail to see her I expect to see her in Heaven. I have wrote to your father. I presume he has received my last letter before now. I do not know that I can tell you anything about the war that would amount to anything more than you already know. As we are at present we are retired from the active field I am not as well posted as when we were aamid the turmoils of battle. I have not heard a battle sound since we came across the river. Apparently all seems quiet which seems good. top two lines at top of 4th page too indistinct to decipher My hospital service is every other day. Every other day and night. I have to work taking care of the sick of our regiment then I am idle twenty-four hours. . several lines gone or indistinct here and the I will have a chance to eat army rations wear army cloths and a few moremostly indistinct lines ." She ends the letter by requesting that her cousin write to her at Hospital 50th NY Engineer Regiment Washington D.C. Online information reports that the regiment composed mostly of men from New York and a small number from Pennsylvania lost by death 10 killed in action 7 from wounds received and 214 from disease and other causes. unknown

In his text Münster clearly follows Strabo relying heavily on his Geography Book XV: On India.PAGE 1071 and PAGE 1072 are devoted to Bucephalus the most famous horse of ancient times. Bucephalus whose name means "ox-head" was called that because of his wide forehead and slightly "dished-shaped" face marked by a white star. A black stallion only 15 hands high he achieved fame carrying his master Alexander the Great. The story is that Alexander met Bucephalus for the first time when he was only twelve years old. When Alexander's father Philip was looking at horses to buy Bucephalus was brought out but proved dangerously unruly. Alexander noticed that Bucephalus was frightened by his own shadow so he turned the excited horse to face the sun then vaulted onto the young stallion's back and rode him successfully. Alexander and Bucephalus rode thousands of miles and fought in many battles together winning an enormous empire. Bucephalus finally died at the advanced age of 30 of wounds received in the battle against Porus on the Hydaspes in 326 BCE. Alexander honored him with a large formal funeral which he himself led and named a city "Bucephala" in his honour Basel: Sebastian Heinrich-Petri, 1552. unknown
