|
Published in 'A New and Improved County Atlas. Wallis's New British
Atlas containing a complete set of County Maps divided into Hundreds in which
are carefully delineated all the Direct and Cross Roads, Cities, towns,
Villages, Parks, Seats, Rivers, and Navigable Canals, and a general Map of
England and Wales. The whole engraved in the most accurate manner from the
latest actual surveys. London: Published by J. Wallis, 1812.' |
|
The atlas size is 10 1/2 x 16 ins. |
|
Published in another edition '... Published by S. A. Oddy, 1812.'
probably 1813. |

|
Published as a 'Second Edition with Considerable Improvements &
Additions by G. Herbert, Geographer', 'London, Published by J. Wallis
1814'. |
|
One '... Improvement ...' on the 2nd edition is the addition of a meridian,
labelled 'Meridian of London', at 0 degrees. As this is really the 2 degree West
meridian the label is a bad mistake. |
