D'Apres de Mannevillette ( 1707-1780), whose Oriental Neptune provides the maps to accompany this Navigator, was a celebrated French cartographer who had a long and distinguished career in the French East India Company. His father was a ship's captain in the service of French West India Company, born in Le Havre, de Mannevillette visited the Caribbean in 1726 abroad Le Marechal D'Estrées, He studied under the famous Guillaume Delisle, the King's geographer, and during a voyage to China in 1728 he succeeded in correcting the latitudes of many places using new instruments. Back in France he devised a plan to correct and publish all the existing maps of the route to China: the Red Sea, the coasts of India, Malaya, the northern parts of Indonesia, Indochina and China, Interested in Navigation in his youth, he was one of the first Frenchmen to use Hadley's quadrant, from 1735 he began collecting charts and material about the navigation of Africa and the Indies, travelling extensively for the purpose During his many voyages d'Apres de Mannevillette created a number of charts for a hydrographic atlas which, with the support of the Academie des Sciences, was published in Paris in 1745 under the title "Le Neptune Oriental" with 25 maps. For the next thirty years, with the help of his friend and eminent British hydrographer Alexander Dalrymple, d'Apres de Mannevillette revised his charts for a second and enlarged edition. This comprehensive atlas was used on all French ships and by some foreign ones too, navigating the Indian Ocean. It replaced the "English Pilot" published by John Thornton in 1700 and the charts of the van Keulens, the hydrographers of the Dutch East India Company, which were full of errors.
