Johnston's Eighteen-inch Terrestrial globe containing the latest Geographical Discoveries The globe is mounted in a calibrated brass meridian with an hour ring on the north pole and a wooden horizon ring with the houses of the zodiac, the months of the year, azimuth amplitude, and so on. The horizon ring is raised on four quadrant arcs on a turned baluster column supported on mahogany tripod legs on wheels. The compass is missing. On the globe, you can find voyages of Cook, Vancouver, de la Perouse, Gore, and other explorers in the 18th century. It is a great pleasure to study the world of that time on this large globe. The table of equations in the Pacific Ocean shows the difference in time between the clock and the sun for every day of the year. Inscribed in the circular cartouche, the maker's label with a weapon and a crown with the text, HONISOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE. On both sides of the weapon, a lion and a unicorn. Under the weapon, the text, DIEU ET MON DROIT. William and Alexander Keith Johnston, geographers and cartographers, had their business in Edinburgh, Scotland.
