Title: A New and Correct Map of the Whole World: Shewing ye Situation of its Principal Parts, Viz the Oceans, Kingdoms, Rivers, Capes, Ports, Mountains, Woods, Trade Winds, Monsoons, Variation of ye Compass, Climats, &c. with the most Remarkable Tracks of the Bold Attempts which have been made to Find out the North East & North West Passages. The Projection of this Map is Call'd Mercator's the Design is to make it Useful both for Land and Sea. And it is laid Down with all possible Care, According to the Newest and Most Exact Observations By Herman Moll Geographer. 1719.

Inset Title: This Chart is to show ye Degrees of the Variation of ye Compass as they were Observ'd in ye Year 1700 in ye Atlantick and Indian Ocean; and you will see in ye Map ye Variations of ye Compass markt over ye Great South Sea, as they were found in 179/10.

Inset Title: The North Pole: The letter A. in this Draught is the Place which all Adventurers aimed to come at in order to make ye N. West Passage, & California to ye South Sea &c. and B. is that for ye N. East Passage - - - Iapon to the East Indies &c.

Advertisement: Having finish'd a New and Compleat Atlas or Set of 27 Two-sheet Maps, and omitted no Pains to have them very correctly done, according to the Newest Observations and latest Discoveries, which are well known to have been very many within the compass of a few Years, I hope Noblemen, Gentlemen, and others, will not suffer themselves to be imposed upon by old, incorrect and falsly projected Maps, under what denomination soever they may be represented to the Publick, without taking a little Care to Look into and examine them. It is within ye Memory of many living, that Moses Pitts Bookseller undertook to publish a New English Atlas, his Proposals were very plausible, and Patrons of great Note, who were to inspect and give their Assistance, nam'd therein, among whom was Prince Rupert, by whose Direction I drew several New Draughts for that work, but notwithstanding the vast Incouragement Pitts had by the subscriptions of Persons of Quality and others; he had so litle Regard to do 'em Iustice, according to his Proposals, that he purchased an Impression of Old and Incorrect Maps for his Pretended New Atlas, adding only a few poorly perform'd Plates to it, which I hope will be a sufficient Caution to every body, not to take any thing of this kind for the future upon Trust and unexamined.

Explanation: To find the Distance between any two Places in this Map by ye Scale of English Leagues, fitted from 20 to 55 Degrees of Latitude as you see ye lines numbred up each side, the lines that go from top to bottom, intersecting ye Parallels of Latitude at every 10 Leagues; so that each Parallel contains 100 Leagues in ye Latitude that ye Parallel is numbred with. Example. I desire to know ye Distance between Portsmouth and ye Lizard; I extend ye Compasses from one place to ye other and applying that to ye Scale upon ye Parallel of 50, I find it is 60 Leagues. Secondly, if ye two places differ only in Latitude ye Difference of Latitude is the Distance. 3. If ye two places are both in ye same Latitude take ye Distance between them, and apply the Compasses to ye Graduated Meridian, one foot standing as much above ye Latitude as ye other below ye Degrees intresepted is the Distance. 4. If ye two places differ both in Latitude and Longitude, take ye Difference of Latitude between them in Degrees from ye Equinoctial Line then lay a Ruler upon ye two Places, apply one Point of ye Compasses so to ye Edge of the Ruler, that ye other turned about may just touch some East or West line crossed by ye Ruler, then take ye Distance by ye Edge of ye Ruler from ye Place where ye Compasses rested, by ye Place where ye Ruler crosses ye said East and West Line that space Measured on ye Degrees of the Equinoctial is the Distance sought.

Note. A Climate is a certain space of Earth and Sea, that is included within the Space of two Parallels; there are 24 on each side of the Equator, being Limited by every half Hour's Increase of the Day; beginning at the Equator, and ending where the longest Day is 24 Hours.

Note: In this Map is inserted A View of the General and Coasting Trade-winds, Monsoons or the Shifting Trade-winds. Note that the Arrows among the Lines shew the Course of those General & Coasting winds and the Arrows in the void Spaces shew the Course of the Shifting Trade-winds, and the Abbreviations Sept &c. shew the Times of the Year when such winds Blow.
