  John Ogilby
Ogilby was born outside Dundee, in 1600, the son of a well-to-do Scottish gentleman.
Ogilby was assisted in the project by his step-grandson, William Morgan, and by a number of professional surveyors.
Ogilby claimed that 26,600 miles of roads were surveyed in the course of preparing the atlas, but only about 7,500 were actually depicted in print.

Ogilby had a varied career, originally as a dancing master, but later as a director of plays, a translator, a poet, and, most importantly, a bookseller and publisher.
Ogilby’s ventures were successful in winning him royal favour, and, after the disaster of the Great Fire, he received a licence as a cosmographer and geographic printer, and embarked on the work of surveying Great Britain.
It was not a financial success, however, and Ogilby failed in his attempt, in 1661, to have the publication of other illustrated Bibles prohibited for ten years.

 The Classic Text: Homer
Known for his translations of Virgil, Homer, and Aesop, Ogilby also began his own press which produced a variety of works including large atlases and geographical treatises until his death in 1676.
Ogilby hired the finest artists to illustrate his editions and became the first publisher to sell the rights advertisements on his illustrations.
This provided Ogilby with extra capital to produce his books and allowed him to hire higher quality artists and engravers.

Ogilby received his information for the map and for his text on Maryland directly from Lord Baltimore, whose coast of arms impressively appears in the upper right corner.
Ogilby's direct contact with Lord Baltimore is evidenced by his inclusion of Cecil County in his text and on the map, for this county was only officially announced by Lord Baltimore in 1674.
Ogilby (1600-1676), one of the more colorful figures associated with cartography, started life as a dancing master and finished as the King's Cosmographer and Geographic Printer.

 Caroline Andrus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In several news articles published in the Daily Press of Newport News, VA, USA prior to Caroline's death at age 85 on November 13, 1961, no mention was ever made of her former fiancee, William Jones, the ethnologist who met with an untimely death in 1909 in the Philippines.
When told the story of William Jones, the reaction by Church officials was an uneasy silence; this probably explains why a historical marker was never placed on either premises in Apayao, and why the priests never knew the history of the gift that led to the construction of the chapel and priests' residence.
To say that this omission of the William Jones connection was intentional cannot be determined as the correspondence between Andrus and Bishop Ogilby has been lost or destroyed.

 Virtual Representation Theory
William Snelgrave alleges that "Negroes are lascivious, given to worship of snakes, and anthropophagous; they will vend their own children." The implications of depicting her physique and behavior as masculine would assume that she can endure hard agricultural labor like the African men.
However, based on a chauvinistic imperialist gaze, what would ultimately place the African woman in an inferior role, would be to imply that she is not as feminine, therefore, less beautiful and desirable than her European counterpart.
Ogilby claims that the Kumba tribe are "anthropophagus, and by consequence of nature cruel and barbarous," and they "[ate] up whomever they took" (374).
