Note:
During a voyage to China in 1728, Jean d' Aprés de Mannevillette succeeded in correcting the latitudes of many places using new instruments. Back in France he published maps of the route to China, the Red Sea, the coasts of India, Malaya, the northern parts of Indonesia, Indochina and China. The depicted area of this particular chart extends from part of Taiwan -here still named Formosa- in the north, to the Philippines and Borneo in the south, and shows the whole of the coast of Southern China and Vietnam. The China Sea is the busiest waterway in the east thus the importance of such chart. Hundreds of tiny islands are shown and there is little inland and coastal detail.
