Rebound in half leather binding. Ex-library copy. Title page damaged with some loss and repair and frontispiece laid down and re-attached. Preface somewhat frayed and stained, and some repairs to a few other pages, but otherwise an acceptable copy of an uncommon publication originally issued as a partwork. 50 maps of the English and Welsh counties, plus 2 of offshore islands, and a general map of the British Isles. The called-for map of the country 20 miles around London is missing. 37 of the maps were first published in Thomas Read's English Traveller of 1743/45 or John Rocque's Small British Atlas from c 1753. 10 are by Thomas Kitchin and were first published in the London Magazine from 1757-63. 4 are by George Rollos and were originally issued in the British Magazine in 1762-3. The Bedforshire map is also closely copied from a Rollos original. The author of the general map is unknown.Most of the maps are in good condition, but 3 "Rollos" maps are trimmed within one border and one is folded and slightly rubbed. 2 other county maps have minor marginal repairs, and the general map of the British Isles has wear at the folds and is rather grubby. Many other plates.
