To commemorate the 350th anniversary (1664-2014) of the naming of New
Jersey, Princeton University Library will publish Nova Caesarea: A
Cartographic Record of the Garden State, 1666--1888 in the summer of 2014.

This comprehensive and extensively illustrated volume will introduce
readers to the maps that charted the state's development---from
unexplored colonial territory to the first scientifically surveyed state
in the Union. An introductory section on coastal charts, manuscript road
maps, and early state maps will provide a historical background to the
major focus of the book: the state's first wall maps and county atlases.
The large scale of these maps allowed their creators to include the
names and locations of nineteenth-century merchants and farmers, hence
personalizing local history. The maps will be supplemented with
lithographs from the atlases and photographs of the locations today. The
volume of approximately 250 pages will measure 11 by 14 inches and
include 100 maps and 75 photographs in full color. Two editions are
available: 1) Regular edition: lithograph-wrapped hard cover, with one
large foldout state map in back pocket. Pre-publication price: $75
(after publication, $100). 2) Special edition of 350 commemorative
copies: cloth-covered hard cover, with one large foldout state map in
back pocket. Numbered and signed by the author and designer. With a
duplicate set of enlarged county wall maps in a companion folder. Volume
and folder housed in a custom-designed cloth slipcase. Pre-publication
price: $200 while supplies last (after publication, if copies remain,
$250). Before April 1st, we are offering pre-publication discounts: $75
for the regular edition, $200 for the special edition. (Add $10 for
shipping/mailing.) Checks can be mailed to: Ms. Linda Oliveira,
Princeton University Library, One Washington Road, Princeton, NJ 08544.
