Original half leather binding. Boards and binding rather rubbed, with the top 1cm of the spine deatched. Internally quite good. 49 maps (mostly single page and most in full wash colour) - 40 county maps plus 4 of the Yorkshire Ridings, 2 of Wales, 2 general maps of England and Wales, and maps of the Lake District, South Scotland, and Thanet. Map of Derbyshire is a folding map on a larger scale than the other counties. Repaired tears to maps of the Lakes and Derbyshire. These maps were first published by Charles Cooke from c1802-1810 to illustrate a series of small topographical directories. They were later re-used in 1824 by George Carrington Gray in his New Book of Roads, which could be purchased with or without the county maps.
