Westmorland, Cumberland, etc, scales about 2.5 miles to 1
inch, derived from maps by Ogilby, 1675, by John Senex,
London, 1719; revised 1757; published up to 1780s.

Printed for and sold by J. SENEX at the Globe in
Salisbury-Court, Fleetstreet, 1719.'
Volume 2 of the cross roads in 46 plates.
There are title pages and a few pages of text; the road book
size is 15x21cm and may well be labelled on the spine as
'Ogilby's Roads 1719'; the maps are reduced from Ogilby's
strip maps of 1675, they are numbered bottom right and are
plain on the reverse. The pagination matches the roads of
John Ogilby of which this road book was intended to be a new
version. There were many editions.
The plates that concern Westmorland, Cumberland etc, now
Cumbria are 38, 62, 86, and 96.
Pl.38 in the London to Carlisle road - from Garstang,
through Lancaster, Carnford, Lancashire; then Burton,
Kendal, Shap, Westmorland; and Penrith to Carlisle,

sold by M. Senex, at the Globe agst St. Dunstans Church
Fleetstreet.' an advertisement within includes '... by the
late John Senex & continued to be sold by His Widow M.
Senex, ...' 1742.
The maps are unchanged from the 1719 edition; but it is
strongly suspected that plate numbering varies (I have not
inspected multiple editions). In at least one edition pl.37
is the number on the route of pl.39, for example.

The maps in the road book are the 100 strip maps of the 1719
edition, printed back to back plus one new route and a
general map of the country; notes are added in spare spaces;
plate numbers are at both top corners; the road book has a
title page and introductory text; its size is 8 1/2 x 7 ins;
you need big pockets. The pagination is changed in this
