Descripción Original half calf over paper boards. Title in gilt on gilt-framed green morocco label fixed to upper. Half title in gilt on black label on spine. All edges speckled red. , Pierre Charles Francois Dupin (1784 ? 1873) was a French Catholic mathematician, engineer, economist, and politician. He is best known for work in the field of mathematics, where the Dupin cyclide and Dupin indicatrix are named after him, and also for his work in the field of statistical and thematic mapping. In 1826 he created the earliest known choropleth map, which is a type of statistical thematic map that uses a colour scheme to visually represent how a particular variable (such as population density, per-capita income, etc.) differs across a geographic region. In 1816, Dupin was able to visit Britain, which formed the basis for his research and observations presented in this volume. ?In the following work, I have endeavoured to exhibit the full extent of the Military and Naval Forces which the government of Great Britain can bring into the field, or launch upon the ocean. My observations on these subjects were derived from a residence of five years in England; during which time I was constantly employed in visiting and viewing every object and institution worthy of notice relative to the British Army and Navy.?, Size : Thin Folio (514x340 mm), A very good example; atlas volume only.
