ARROWSMITH

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 650 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ARN-AUD
ARROWSMITH , the name of an English family of geographers. The first of them, Aaron Arrowsmith (17501823), migrated to London from Winston in
Durham
  when about twenty years of age, and was employed by John Cary, the engraver. In 1790 he made himself famous by his large chart of the world on
Mercator
 's projection. Four years later he published another large map of the world on the globular projection, with a companion volume of explanation. The maps of North America (1796) and
Scotland
  (1807) are the most celebrated of his many later productions. He left two sons, Aaron and Samuel, the elder of whom was the compiler of the
Eton
 
Comparative
  Atlas, of a Biblical atlas, and of various manuals of geography. They carried on the business in company with John Arrowsmith (1790-1873), nephew of the elder Aaron. In 1834 John published his London Atlas, the best set of maps then in existence. He followed up the atlas with a
long
 
series
  of elaborate and carefully executed maps, those of Australia, America, Africa and India being especially valuable. In 1863 he received the gold
medal
  of the Royal Geographical Society, of which
body
  he was one of the founders.
