H. James Book order (chronological)

Major General Sir Henry James served as the director-general of the Ordnance Survey, the British Government mapping agency, for two decades. Throughout his tenure, he introduced the new science of photography to cartography and claimed to be the inventor of the process known as photozincography. Though noted for his eccentric and egotistical nature, his legacy lies in his pioneering of modern scientific methods within the established mapping institution.
