	Major James Rennell, FRS (1742-1830)
		James Rennell "was the founder of oceanography: that branch of geographical science which deals with the ocean, its winds and currents".
		Rennell's memoir on the Agulhas current (as it is now known) was published in 1778, and was the "very first contribution to the science of oceanography", writes Markham, so that James Rennell "was the father of oceanography".
		Rennell returned to his hydrographic work in 1810 at the age of 68, and it occupied him for the last twenty years of his life.

		Major James Rennell F.R.S. December 3, 1742 - March 29, 1830) was an English geographer, historian and a pioneer of oceanography.
		Amazing is the accuracy of the marine currents and winds in contrast to the nearly phantasylike depiction of the inner parts of Africa (unknown to the Europeans until 1877).
		Beside his geographical and historical works James Rennell is known today for his hydrographical works about the currents in the Atlantic and Indian ocean.

	Mapping the Maps : 1700 - 1800AD
		Rennell’s famous Map of India is published and this becomes the starting point in map-making by the Indian Government.
		The "Father of Indian Geography", James Rennell, as Surveyor General of Bengal, collected together the geographical data acquired by the British Army columns on their campaign and began to map all of India in 1765, subdividing India according to the Mughal provinces (subas) as defined under Emperor Akbar (reigned 1555-1605).
		The title of Rennell’s memoirs explicitly equated India with the Mughal Empire - Memoir of a Map of Hindoostan; or the Mogul Empire, although the maps presented the entire subcontinent, usually referred by him as ‘India’.

	rennell
		During the first quarter of the 19th century, the British admiralty office collected a large amount of information about ocean currents and James Rennell, the leading geographer in England, was given the task of compiling and collecting the data.
		He combined the results on large charts of the ocean which were the admiration of the day, and also wrote a volume entitled "An Investigation of the Subject of the Currents of the Atlantic Ocean." He died in 1830 before its completion, but it was published posthumously by his daughter Jane Rodd in 1832.
		Rennell's final work mentions the meandering of the Gulf Stream and discusses the formation of large eddies with cold cores.

	"CIRCULATING KNOWLEDGE" Abstracts Q-Z
		James Rennell (1742-1830) who, as an ensign in the Royal Navy during the 7-years war had picked up the rudiments of coastal and harbour surveying, and subsequently as an interloper in the South-east Asian country trade had gained a deep knowledge of trade routes, got himself engaged for the task.
		This paper presents the way Rennell, using his marine and commercial skills, translates indigenous revenue statistics, route tables and accounts of military displacements on the one hand, and the East India Company’s needs on the other, into the “first” unified map of the Indian subcontinent, published in 1783.
		Through this presentation which is at complete odds with the normal centre-periphery trajectory that underlies most stories of the circulation of science, the paper also engages with current debates on the nature of the encounter and interaction of British and indigenous “information orders” and their contribution to the emergence of metropolitan and colonial scientific institutions.

	Kubla Khan Sources--Rennell
		If Coleridge did read Rennell, he may have come across the following description of Kashmir, making it seem like a holy land, because of the romantic beauty of the fertile valley, encircled with steep mountains, with a river opening a path through it, and a garden in perpetual spring, with surprising fountains.
		As described by Rennell, this constellation of pictures may have appealed to Coleridge, if he read the text, reinforcing similar descriptions of Kashmir in Maurice, and other writers' descriptions of the source of the Nile.
		And the landscape of the deep romantic vale of Cashmere and the landscape of the valley of the upper Nile seem to have melted into one another in the dream, and the enchanted territory of the poem becomes "holy land."...

		Rennell writes: "Delhi, the nominal capital of Hindostan at present, and the actual capital during the greatest part of the time since the Mohamedan conquest" (65).
		Rennell's history provides a brief account of this "Caliph Valid" (xliv); Dow's refers, somewhat enigmatically, to a "Chaled," descendent of "Osman" (I.34, 36); this may be the same person.
		Rennell also identifies "Mahmood," the son of "Subactagi" (xliv)—the rulers to whom Williams apparently refers in this passage.

		Early exploration of the oceans was limited to its surfaces and the few creatures that fishermen brought up in nets, but when Bougainville and Cook carried out their explorations in the South Pacific, the seas themselves formed part of the reports.
		James Rennell wrote the first scientific textbooks about currents in the Atlantic and Indian ocean during the late 18th and at the beginning of 19th century.
		Sir James Clark Ross took the first modern sounding in deep sea in 1840, and Charles Darwin published a paper on reefs and the formation of atolls, but the existence of the steep slope beyond the continental shelves was not discovered until 1849.

		James Bruce spent years trying to discover the true source of the Nile, and, convinced he had discovered the fountain from which the sacred river flowed, returned to Britain to write a poetic description of his travels through Africa.
