"THE MOST ELEGANT ENGLISH ATLAS OF ALL TIME" (Worms) First edition. Of the maps in the "New General Atlas", ten are apparently new plates (Europe; Moscovy; Amsterdam; France; Sicily; England; Ireland; India; Africa; Louisiana); two originated with Morden (English Empire in America; Golden Islands & Darien, the latter engraved by Moll), the first map of France also possibly, eight from Browne's stock (Denmark; Scandinavia; Spain; Rome; Bernard Randolph's Greece; Virginia; West Indies and Scotland, this latter commenced by Morden and completed by Browne), and possibly also the Spanish Netherlands, Switzerland and Savoy. Of the maps of uncertain attribution five are engraved by John Harris, who worked both for Morden and Browne (Poland; Italy; Savoy; Hungary; America), and one by Samuel Parker (London), and eight without any attribution at all (World; Germany; United Provinces; Spanish Netherlands; France; Switzerland; Asia; Turkey). Including many important maps relating to America: "New Map of the World"; "Virginia, Maryland, and the improved parts of Pennsylvania & New Jersey"; "The English Empire in the Ocean of America or West Indies"; "Louisiana and of the River Mississipi"; and the "Isthmus of Darien in America". Bookseller, publisher and maker of maps and globes, Senex was "long concerned in the production of maps and atlases. Between 1707 and 1711 he worked with Price (and later Maxwell) on a large atlas series, issuing in 1707 broadside 'Proposals for a new sett of correct mapps' advertising the partners as 'Geographers to the Queen' and promising work that 'shall in correctness, and all other particulars, far exceed any yet done'. Senex and Price subsequently went their separate ways but Senex at length produced (with Maxwell) an augmented version of these maps as "The English Atlas" (1714), the bulk of the work engraved by himself. His portable version of the road maps of John Ogilby, published as "An Actual Survey of All the Principal Roads of England and Wales" in 1719, was a popular success, staying in print for many years, while his "A New General Atlas" (1721) remains the most elegant English world atlas of the time. "The Atlas maritimus & commercialis" (1728), a work to which Halley lent his assistance and the text for which is said to have been written by Defoe, featured maps drawn on a new 'globular' projection patented in 1721, which Senex had himself devised in association with John Harris and Henry Wilson.

It was the first attempt at solving the problem of longitude. The map bears several legends.John Senex (c.1678-1740) was geographer to Queen Anne and a Fellow of the Royal Society. He began his career as a book seller later becoming an engraver and publisher. Around 1710 he published a set of Proposals for a large folio 'English Atlas'. At first, he was in partnership with John Price but by the time sufficient maps had been completed for the first edition in 1714, Price had left, and John Maxwell had become his partner.
