Cowley's Bedfordshire map was one of six county maps first issued in a short-lived partwork titled The Publick Register;or The Weekly Magazine. Bedfordshire appeared in March 1741. The publisher, R. Dodsley, subsequently decided to complete the set of maps for a new topographical work, The Geography of England. This book's title page is dated 1744, though other evidence suggests an actual publication date of November 1743. The 52 maps were re-issued in 1745 and 1748 as a county atlas without text under the title A New Sett of Pocket Maps of all the Counties of England and Wales. The maps are uncommon.
