About this title

Synopsis

A Compleat System Of General Geography: Expalining The Nature And Properties Of The Earth by Bernhardus Varenius is an early 18th?century English edition of a foundational treatise on geography. Heavily annotated and expanded by translators such as Jurin, Bentley, and Newtonian contributors, it presents a math?informed geography aimed at students, travelers, and sailors, and it defines geography as a mixed science of geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, and experience. The work is structured around three overarching parts—Absolute Geography (the Earth’s body), Relative Geography (celestial influences), and Comparative Geography (cross?place comparisons)—and distinguishes Universal (global) from Special (regional) geography. It surveys methods for determining Earth’s size, introduces a geometric toolkit (lines, circles, trigonometric ratios), and treats the Earth’s figure, magnitude, and motion, the land–sea division, mountains, waters, winds, and tides. It also discusses measurement systems, instruments, and the role of Newtonian physics in updating earlier Cartesian notions. The audience includes educated readers in universities and naval or commercial circles.
