摘要

本文介绍了英国东印度公司（EIC）于1808年在启蒙运动后期组织的帕拉塞尔群岛调查。它记录了调查的准备工作和执行情况，以表明它推翻了16世纪至19世纪初地图和海图上对帕拉塞尔群岛的错误表述。本文使用新的档案材料，包括船上的期刊、回忆录和私人信件，研究了这项调查的细节，包括赞助网络和机构所扮演的角色，认为启蒙运动后期是地理认识论和方法论的转变时期。

A Late Enlightenment Enterprise: The British East India Company’s Survey of the Paracels in 1808

ABSTRACT This paper describes the survey of the Paracels organized by the British East India Company (EIC) in 1808 in the context of the late Enlightenment. It documents the preparatory work for and execution of the survey to show that it overturned the erroneous representations of the Paracels on maps and charts from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth century. Using new archival material, including ship’s journals, memoirs, and private letters, this paper examines details of this survey, including patronage networks and the role played by institutions to argue that the late Enlightenment was a period of transformation in the epistemology and methodology of geography.
