Lot Essay

Chubb: "The title-page is the same as the earlier impression. At the bottom, below the border, is added: 'Price in Sheet 5s. Bound 6s.' Names of villages, and additional roads, have been added to the county maps, in other respects they are precisely the same as the former issue; bearing the same date and imprint. The only copy I have seen is in the Cambridge University Library."
