This pocket atlas is complete with 43 maps in full contemporary color, including a map of England & Wales and 42 county maps (Yorkshire is the only double-page map). The maps are based upon earlier works by John Cary and locate market towns, towns, villages, rivers, coach roads, turnpike roads, distances between places, and more. Each has its own compass rose, distance scale, and title incorporated into the border. The author notes that "every attention has been paid to Engrave the Plates in a superior manner, and it is hoped this work will be found the best of the kind at present published." Contents call for 42 maps, but the present example has an additional map of the Isle of Wight at the end of the volume. Hardbound in quarter leather with tips over paper boards with title label pasted on the front cover. Price marked 15 shillings.
