[161] Sanson was the author of numerous maps and atlases. His works are extensively referred to by Phillips in his List of Geographical Atlases. See also list of his works in Britannica, “Sanson, Nicolas.” [162] These are referred to in the preface of a work titled ‘Usages des Globes céleste et terrestre, faits par ordre du Roi, par le S. Robert de Vaugondy, fils.’ Paris, 1751. [163] See work referred to in preceding note. [164] Cited by Fiorini, Sfere terrestri e celesti, p. 417, n. 2. [165] Fiorini, op. cit., p. 419. [166] Fiorini, op. cit., p. 421. [167] John Flamsteed (1646-1719) was the first astronomer royal, author of ‘Atlas Coelestis’ and other works treating of astronomical subjects. The figures of the several constellations appearing in this atlas were drawn by James Thornhill. Artistically they are not equal to those appearing in Hevelius’ Prodromus astronomiae.

[171] Reference to his publications in Nouvelle biographie, “Bonne, Rigobert.” [172] Nouvelle biographie, “Lalande, Joseph Jerome.” This is an excellent article with references to his numerous publications. His ‘Bibliographie astronomique,’ Paris, 1803, has been of particular value in the preparation of this work. See also Nouveaux globes, céleste et terrestre, d’un pied de diamètre par M. De la Lande et M. Bonne, avec l’explication en une brochure in-12. Paris, 1775. Lalande, op. cit., refers to a work titled ‘Usage du Planétaire ou sphère mouvante de Copernic, qui se trove chez Fortin, ingénieur-mécanicien du Roi.’ Paris, 1773. Fortin issued a French edition of Flamsteed’s Atlas under the title ‘Atlas céleste de Flamsteed approuvé par l’Académie Royale des Sciences. Seconde édition par M. J.
