Mercaˊtors Chart
Mercaˊtor’s Chart [with Navigators] a sea chart, in which
the parallels are represented in strait lines; and the meridians in
like manner by parallel strait lines; whose degrees notwithstanding,
are not equal, but are continually enlarges as they approach
nearer to the pole in the same proportion as the parallel circles
decrease towards them.
