Notes |
The top of the stand supports an artificial horizon with astrological notations; there is an hour circle around the North
Pole. The globe rotates within a metallic meridan to which the axis is attached. The inscription on the globe reads: “Loring’s
Terrestrial Globe Containing all of the Late Discoveries and Geographical Improvements. Also the Tracks of the Most Celebrated
Circumnavigations Compiled from Smith’s New English Globe with Calculations and Improvements by American auth. Revised by
Roswell Park 1851 Manufactured by Gilman Joslin Boston.”
