Geographers
of the
seventeenth and early
eighteenth centuries recognized two great divisions of their
discipline. These were ‘General’ or
‘Universal’ geography, which dealt with
‘the whole Earth in general, and explained its properties
without regard to particular countries’. These are
often to
our eyes non PC but at 250 years old they show the countries as they
were discovered to be shown to an incredulous world as 'curiosities'
