DESCRIPTION

The map is by Jehoshaphat Aspin and is based on the work of Abbe Gaultier, an educational reformer who fled revolutionary France for London. Gaultier began publishing his works in the late eighteenth century, and his philosophy of teaching geographical knowledge through games incorporating the writings of John Locke, 'I have always had a fancy that learning might be made a play and recreation to ... 'tis so much a fashion and emulation amongst their children, to learn to read and ... thoughts be instilled into them, that might set them upon desiring of learning.
