It is felt that this sheet is a trial sheet, perhaps made to raise subscriptions
for the whole project; the ambitious scale of the project and its costs would
have made it difficult to find support, no other sheets in the series have been
seen, as yet; the title includes 'part of' which would not have been used if the
sheet were part of a complete series? lithography is unusual for a map of this
period.

Pigot's Directory for Hampshire lists 'Kentish, Nathl. L. author of the great
Map of Hants. Kingsgate-st' Winchester, 1823-24.

Correspondence between Kentish and Robert Drummond about mapping his estate,
refers to the large scale map in preparation, 1823.
