Reviews: Atlas van Nederland

Summary

This article contains two book reviews. The first reviews the Atlas van Nederland, praising its superb cartographic design and technical execution, characterized by elegant simplicity and masterly control of cartographic techniques. Although conventional and cautious, it conveys an air of authority. The second reviews Scottish Estate Plans, Volume 1, published by the Scottish Record Office, which descriptively lists 1,200 estate plans from 1750–1850, arranged by county and parish, with details on scale, size, surveyor, and an index. The reviewer notes its significant value for studying Scotland's Agrarian and Industrial Revolutions, though the index is limited and county distribution uneven, anticipating improvements in future volumes.
