\nEdward Wells Biography
\nEdward Wells was a Church of England clergyman and advocate for education. He
\npublished prolifically, including several atlases of the ancient and contemporary world.
\nWells was the son of a vicar and entered Christ Church, Oxford in late 1686. He graduated
\nBA in 1690, MA in 1693, and worked as a tutor at his college from 1691 to 1702. Then, he
\nentered into a living at Cotesbach, Leicestershire, from where he continued to publish his
\nmany works. He attained the degrees of BD and DD in 1704, after he was already at
\nCotesbach.
\nFrom roughly 1698 onward, Wells wrote many sermons, books, and atlases. He focused
\non catechismal and pastoral works, as well as educational books. For example, some of
\nhis first works were mathematics texts for young gentlemen, which included how to use
\nglobes and determine latitude and longitude. He also translated classical and Christian
\ntexts, sometimes adding geographical annotations.
\nHis descriptive geographies were not overly original works, but they were popular in their
\ntime. First, he produced a Treatise of Antient and Present Geography in 1701; it went on to
\nfour more editions. Next was a Historical Geography of the New Testament (1708),
\naccompanied by a Historical Geography of the Old Testament (1711-12).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
