Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Doctor Perry Louden puts his money where his mouth is when he proposes a new logical, instructive, and chronological take on Daniel 11. In his own words, "This position is by no means meant to be the end-all to our study and dialogue on Daniel 11.The result must be to put an end to our vacillation among a multitude of positions and opinions in Daniel 11." Doctor Louden confronts years of indecision by using principles of interpretation consistent with Adventist theological history. He extends this consistency to questionable verses in Daniel 11, long since debated in Adventism. His chronological approach helps make Daniel 11 easier to follow. Though Louden may not explicitly state who the King of the South is today, he does lay the necessary historical foundation that all--theologians and Bible students alike--need to arrive at the answers to questions that have long been obscured. "We are in the Toenails of Daniel's Image, and we must present all Daniel's prophecies with the same power and exuberance of those giving the message of hope in the judgment before October 22, 1844.".

unbound. Map. Engraving with hand coloring. Together measure 42" x 48". This informative late 18th-century wall map of Asia is based on the cartography of the famous French cartographer Jean Baptiste Bourguignon D'Anville. He was particularly interested in the Far East, making exact studies from many sources, and including the excellent contributions made by Jesuit missionaries to China and Indonesia. It is interesting to note the Asiatic royal leader in the cartouche with an opium pipe, for it was at this time that the export of opium to China from India began. The cartouche also illustrates other items of trade: cotton and silk, spices, and tea and a cute camel. Historical and geographical notes throughout identifies cities, caravan routes, undersea shoals, rivers, lakes, islands and topography. In East Asia, the discoveries of the Russians and Dutch are noted, including those of Bering (Behring Island, where he died includes a note "where he was cast away and died in 1741"). Central Asia, which was more or less unmapped at the time, shows interesting detail. The supposed "ancient seat of the Monguls Empire" is identified. The Straits of Singapore are labeled. Singapore Island, although not identified, is noted. It was published by Laurie and Whittle in Thomas Kitchin's "General Atlas". The sheets are in good condition with overall toning and some foxing at places. Minor wear along the folds and some edge wear. Thomas Kitchin (1719-1784) was an English engraver and map-maker. His maps and atlases of England earned him the position of hydrographer to the King. Kitchin produced many maps for The London Magazine which was founded in 1732 and is still published today. Robert Laurie (c. 1755 - 1836) and James Whittle (1757-1818) were London-based map and atlas publishers active in the late 18th and early 19th century. Their firm combined Laurie's engraving skills with Whittle's social contacts and print sales experience. Together, they published numerous maps and atlases, often enlisting prominent cartographers such as Kitchin, Faden, Jefferys and others to update and modify their plates. Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d' Anville (1697-1782) was a French geographer and cartographer whose accurate, research-based work raised the standards for 18th-century map-making. Passionate about maps from his childhood, he created maps during his school years and would go on to publish several atlases during his prolific career. In his early 20's he became the Geographer to the King of France. His accuracy and in depth research would make him one of the most important cartographers of the 18th century.

John Barrow was a geographer, historian, and lexicographer. He was originally a teacher of mathematics and navigation aboard ships of the Royal Navy. He retired in 1750 and turned his attention entirely towards writing. Elizabeth Baigent writes, in her entry for the "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography," "He compiled dictionaries and other works which drew on his mathematical and scientific knowledge. Many of his works went through more than one edition and some were translated. His compilations included 'Dictionarium polygraphicum' (1735), 'Dictionarium medicum, universale' (1749), a 'Geographical Dictionary' (2 vols, 1759-60), and 'Dictionary of Arts and Sciences' (1764)." Barrow published this work, his geographical dictionary, anonymously in London. A visually pleasing work of geographical reference.

Expanded to include Australia First edition thus. Engraved wall map on 6 sheets joined to make 3, with contemporary hand-colour in outline. A magnificent wall map of all of Asia, including eastern Europe, the Middle East, South-East Asia, and the East Indies. The map is based on Laurie & Whittle's earlier map of 'Asia' (1794), but here augmented with two further sheets to include eastern Africa and "New Holland". The latter includes two insets: 'Sketch of King Geo. IIIds Sound', or King George Sound, with Vancouver's discovery of Princess Royal Harbour, Western Australia on 29 Aug. 1791; and 'The discoveries made by the ship Duke on the south extremity of New Holland in 1791', showing the south-eastern tip of Tasmania, now the region of Hobart, extending up the Derwent River. The mapmakers The foundation of the partnership of Robert Laurie (17551836) and James Whittle (17571818) was the existing stock of Robert Sayer's printing plates, both for maps and atlases and also decorative prints. Laurie had originally apprenticed to Robert Sayer in 1770, and made free in 1777. He was a skilled artist, who exhibited at the Society of Artists from 1770, winning a silver palette for a drawing in 1770, and he was also an accomplished engraver of mezzotint portraits and produced views and other decorative items. In about 1792 he returned to the Sayer business and took it over from the ailing Sayer in 1794. Whittle was apprenticed into the Needlemakers' Company, evidently made free by 1792, and joined with Laurie to take over the Sayer business in 1794. Laurie retired in 1812. His son Richard Holmes Laurie replaced him in the partnership and, eventually, took over the firm after Whittle's death in 1818. Presumably under the influence of Richard Holmes Laurie, the partnership became noted as chartmakers and publishers, with the business existing to the current day as Imray, Laurie, Norie and Wilson.
