Connaught. The Antiquities of England and Wales was a weekly partwork published by Alexander Hogg from 1787-9, to compete with Grose's similar work on antiquities which had just been completed. The nominal editor of the work, Henry Boswell, may or not have actually existed. Hogg included a set of English county maps by Thomas Kitchin, which had first appeared in the London Magazine between 1747 and 1765, with general maps of the other parts of the British Isles - some newly engraved, some previously issued by Hogg. This map of Connaught was one of 4 engraved by Thomas Conder to cover the Irish provinces.
