Dear Maphisters
You probably know the famous Carte de France corrigée par ordre du Roy
which was based upon new astronomical measures by Cassini, Picard and
La Hire. It was published in 1693, and the new limits of the territory
were superimposed to the previous shape of France (i e France by
Nicolas Sanson)
Louis XIV made a joke (reported by Fontenelle) about the work of "ces
messieurs de l'académie" which made him lost a fifth of his kingdom
