     Dear Bill Thoen,
                    A concise definition, followed by a historical essay on
     details of the term's innovation and diffusion, and ending with a
     bibliography, for both 'Compass direction' and for 'Windrose' can be
     discovered in:-
     Cartographical innovations: an international handbook of mapping terms
     to 1900 / ed. by Helen M. Wallis and Arthur H. Robinson. - Tring,
     Herts: Map Collector Publications in association with International
     Cartographic Association, 1987. - ISBN 0-906430-04-6.
     Doubtless, a work on history of navigation would be just as useful (or
     preferable)?
     Yours sincerely
     Francis Herbert
     Curator of Maps
     Royal Geographical
