Second edition of Ogilby's famous road book. "This is the first survey of the roads of England and Wales... [the strip road maps] show the main roads only, with the cross-roads indicated. The distances are shown in miles along the roads, and the villages and mansions named, and in some cases the names of the residents are given": Cf. Brunet IV, 174; Chubb C; Lowndes 1719; Wing O169.
