Peter Heylyn Biography

Peter Heylen, clergyman and geography, was a Royalist who was forced to follow Charles into exile in 1642. Besides writing religious tracts against the Puritans, he devoted himself to his Geography, first pubished in 1621, then expanded into his Cosmography, first published in 1652.
