...Su Mei Kok Spanning a thirty-eight-mile canal, a walled reservoir, and a city-wide network of wooden mains, London’s New River altered terrain from Hertfordshire to the city.

... arrangement of the almanac page as well as the almanac’s integration of spatial and temporal systems of measurement produced a distinctive style of travel notation. Both the form and content of these marginalia, I suggest, highlight an additional, understudied discourse of mobility in the early modern period...

.... Apocalypticism is fundamentally concerned with order—both the temporal order of history's pre-scripted unfolding and the spatial order of a divinely made cosmos. 6 In apocalyptic texts, this spatio-temporal order is often obscurely suggested in the form of lists and images of the written medium of lists, like...
