SOUTH AMERICA. Corrected from the Observations comunicated to the Royal Societys of London & Paris.

A lovely extra large map of South America, dedicated by Senex to the famous Astronomer and Mnathematician Edmund Halley LLD Savilian Professor of Geometery in Oxford and Fellow of the Royal Society, Corrected from his own Discoveries . . .
The map is a fascinating rendering of geographical detail and contemporary explorations, noting a good number of sea voyages in the southern waters of South America, including that of Sharp's return route in 1681, Magellan's course in 1520, Amerigo Vespucci's course in 1502, plus Halley's course in 1700.
The region where Halley noted floating ice is identified. Within the map itself, there are a number of interesting observations and some annotations in English.
