Thomas Salmon - Lo stato presente di tutti i paesi e popoli del mondo, Volume XI - 1742

Thomas Salmon's "Lo stato presente di tutti i paesi e popoli del mondo, Volume XI" (The Present State of All Countries and Peoples of the World) from 1742 is a volume in a large encyclopedia-style series providing comprehensive information about countries and peoples worldwide as understood in the mid-18th century. Salmon was an English historian and geographer known for compiling geographical and historical knowledge. Such works were crucial references during the Age of Enlightenment, summarizing political, social, economic, and cultural information about various nations, including customs, governance, and demographics. Volume XI would cover specific regions or topics in detail, contributing to European knowledge about the wider world during an era of expanding exploration and colonial expansion. These volumes are valuable for historians studying early modern perceptions of geography and ethnography.
