<p>First published in 1912, this book documents the main geographical discoveries of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries following the decline of Portugal and Spain, when the main outlines of the world map were completed by their successors among the nations of Europe. The aim of the volume is to look at significant episodes and benchmarks of discoveries in these centuries, arranged into periods by region rather than into chronological world-view, so that the position of each separate achievement can be seen in relation to the general advancement of geographical knowledge.</p>

Heawood's "Watermark" was originally issued in 1950 as the first of the Paper Publications Society's Monumenta and has proven to be one of the Society's most popular volumes. This no doubt has to do with the fact that it was the largest published collection of post-Briquet watermarks.</p>
