Excerpt from Maps, Their Uses and Construction: A Short Popular Treatise on the Advantages and Defects of Maps on Various Projection Followed by an Outline of the Principles Involved in Their Construction Everyone from time to time makes use of maps, but hardly anyone ever consults a globe, and it is not going too far to say that in the case of ninety-nine people out of a hundred all their ideas of the relative size, shape, and positions of the various countries in the world are derived entirely from maps, and generally from those on Mercator's projection; yet of these people probably not one in ten knows that the ideas so derived are inaccurate to a degree which may fairly be called misleading.
