"New and Improved View of the Comparative Heights of the Principal Mountains and Lengths of the Principal Rivers In The World, The whole Judiciously arranged from the various Authorities Extant. By W.R. Gardner. London: William Darton, 58 Holborn Hill, 10 Mo. 23rd, 1823. W.R. Gardner Sculpt. 367 Strand."

This chart by Darton & Gardner is the first known example of a comparative chart to depict both mountains and rivers in the same plate. This innovative cartographic style would flourish throughout the remainder of the 19th century. On the lower right is the comparative mountains section which details the principal mountains of the world. The peaks are colour coded to illustrate different types of vegetation and numerically referenced to the information tables below. The elevations of several principal cities are also included, as well as notations on vegetation and volcanic activity. Himalayan peak Dhaulagiri is identified as the world's greatest mountain. Also curiously noted the hot air balloon flight by Gay-Lussac in 1808 who reached the altitude of 7000 meters. The upper left part of the chart is dominated by the world's greatest rivers, together with notes to their course and sources, lakes, major cities & directions, and distance measurements. The Amazon is identified as the world's greatest river at some 3600 miles, followed by the Mississippi at 3530 miles. The original chart is extremely scarce.

William Darton (February 2, 1881 - July 28, 1854) was an English publisher and engraver active in Tottenham, London during the early part of the 19th century. Darton was the eldest son of William Darton Sr., himself a printer and publisher who co-owned the firm of Harvey and Darton. Darton, a Quaker, was educated at the Friends School in Clerkenwell, London and the Ackworth School in Yorkshire. Afterwards Darton apprenticed to his father where he mastered the part of printing and engraving. Around 1804 Darton opened his own shop, the "Repertory of Genius", specializing in maps, prints, children's books, educational publications, and other "works of merit" at 50 Holborn Hill, London. Cartographically Darton's most significant contribution is his 1823 publication, along with engraver W. R Gardner, of the first composite comparative mountains and rivers chart. Darton also published various maps for the 1802 Atlas to Walker's Geography and his own 1813 Union Atlas. Darton retired in 1851 leaving his business to his son, John Maw Darton, who partnered with Samuel Clark and published as "Darton and Clark".

William R. Gardner (fl. c. 1810 - c. 1850) was and English engraver active in London during the first half of the 19th century. His offices were at 867 Strand Street, London. Gardner worked with many of the most prominent London publishers of his day including Charles Smith and William Darton. His most significant contribution to the world of cartography is his 1823 publication, along with publisher William Darton, of the first composite comparative mountains and rivers chart.

Eh. It's fine
Color: Black
I feel like this mascara is okay. Not fantastic, not terrible. I like a dramatic lash and this mascara doesn't give me the drama. I have been using it for about a month, so I can't really speak much to how well it helps the lashes grow. I haven't noticed any difference yet. It does flake a bit, but not a lot. Really just okay.

Doesn’t flake or smudge!
Color: Black
The is the first mascara I’ve ever used that truly stays put. I’ve tried several other brands (including many with tubing effects) that advertise smudge proof but aren’t. Worth buying!

Worked Nice
Color: Black
I really like this mascara much better than I thought I would. I'm not a fan of false lashes and since my own lashes are pretty pathetic I've tried just about every mascara out there to find one that at least attempts to make it look like I've actually got lashes. I was skeptical at first but this one actually worked quite well. It has a large brush but that did a good job at really separating and drawing them out so they looked longer and fuller. I also had less issue with overshooting it onto the eye lid/brow area so less Q tip cleanup required. I liked the mascara itself, it went on smoothly and felt nice on my lashes. It wasn't at all clumpy or cakey and was nice and light on. I also didn't have any issue with it flaking off during the day. It is a much higher price point than I typically pay for a single mascara and is not a really large tube, but I did notice I wasn't using as much of it as usual and I do like how it felt and looked on my lashes.
