We are only aware of one other example of an atlas with this title; that in the Beineke Library at Yale (Yale FHJ1426), which has 29 maps. Jeremiah Seller (c.1675 – c.1720), son of the cartographer John Seller, was a mapmaker, instrument-maker, publisher and Hydrographer to the Queen. In 1698 he joined his mother, Elizabeth Seller, in carrying on the business of his father and, one year later, they joined into partnership with Charles Price. In c.1705, complaints over the quality of their instruments caused Seller and Price to lose their contract with the Admiralty and, as a consequence, the firm was forced into bankruptcy. As the National Maritime Museum Catalogue makes clear, Seller’s publications were extended and updated as they appeared. This example comprises: 1. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A New Generall Chart of Ye Northern Ocean vitz Norway, Greenland, Finmark, Lapland, Moscovy and Nova Zembla’. 2. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A New Chart of the Channell between England and France’. 3. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A Chart of the Sea Coast from England to the Streights’. 4. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A New Chart of the Eastern Part of the East Indies’. 5. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A New Chart of the Coast of New Found Land, New Scotland, and New England, 1703’ 6. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A Chart of the Narrow Seas’. 7. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A Chart of the North Sea, engraved by F. Lamb’ Prepared for ‘English Pilot Southern Navigation 1690’, but, c.1703. 8. SELLER, John Snr. ‘A Chart of the Seas Coastes of Barbary from the Straits Mouth to Cape de Verd’ Prepared for ‘English Pilot Southern Navigation 1690’, but, c.1703. 9. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A New Generall Chart of the Coast of Guinea and Brasil, 1703’ 10. SELLER, John Sr. ‘A Chart of the Western Part of the East Indies, engraved by F. Lamb’. 11. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A New Chart of the Coast of the Mediterranean Sea’ 2 sheets. 12. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A New Generall Chart for the West Indies, 1703’. 13. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘Chart of Ye Northermost Part of America’. 14. SELLER, Jeremiah and PRICE, Charles Sr. ‘A Chart Of The West Indies, 1703’. 15.
