"A New Map of the Terraqueous Globe according to the Ancient Discoveries and most general Divisions of it into Continents and Oceans," was published by Edward Wells in 1700. This map was part of Wells' larger work, "A New Set of Maps both of Ancient and Present Geography."

Wells' map depicted the known world at the time, incorporating both ancient and contemporary geographical knowledge. It showed the various continents, oceans, and major geographical features of the Earth. As an influential mathematician and geographer, Wells aimed to provide accurate and up-to-date representations of the world through his maps.

Edward Wells (1667-1727) was an English mathematician, geographer, and clergyman who made significant contributions to the field of cartography. He was born in Westminster, London, and attended Christ Church, Oxford, where he later became a lecturer in mathematics and geography.

Wells is best known for his publication "A New Set of Maps both of Ancient and Present Geography," which was first published in 1700. This work consisted of a series of maps that covered various regions of the world. Wells' maps were highly regarded for their accuracy and attention to detail, and they incorporated the latest geographical knowledge of the time.

In addition to his maps, Wells also authored several geographical and historical works. His most notable works include "Historical Geography of the New Testament" (1708) and "An Historical Geography of the Old Testament" (1711). These books provided detailed descriptions and analyses of the geographical settings of biblical events.

Wells' contributions to cartography were significant in the 18th century, and his maps continued to be influential for many years. His works often included informative texts alongside the maps, providing additional context and information for readers.
