Bohun, Edmund (sold)
Edmund Bohun (1645–1699) was an English writer on history and politics, and a Tory polemicist. He was born in Ringsfield, Suffolk, England and educated at Queens' College, Cambridge. He would begin writing against the Whigs after the Exclusion Crisis of the 1680s. His views - compounded with his unpopularity - would land Bohun briefly in prison. He would emigrate to Carolina, becoming in 1698 the first recorded Chief Justice there. Popular or no, Bohun died of Yellow Fever in 1699.

This 1703 map of America was printed for Peter Heylyn's Cosmography. While it has been attributed to Robert Morden, this connection is not at all conclusive; the unique cartography exhibited on this map resembles none found on Morden's maps. Attributions of the engraving of the map to William Trevethen are also erroneous: Trevethen engraved the maps appearing in earlier editions of Cosmography, which this one replaced. While this map served as the model for John Senex's 1719 map of the Western Hemisphere, its own precursors are unknown. An array of features set this map apart from any prior work. (more details)
