little changed; Seller's name is gone; the atlas size is 9 x
12 3/4 ins; the map is printed at the top of a page with
descriptive text below and on the reverse, describing the
county and listing antiquities worthy of notice.
The maps are sometimes found in the 4 main volumes rather
than in the 2nd supplement, they are peripheral to the work.

1789, 1792, and Hooper and Wigstead about 1797.
Published in an edition by John Stockdale, 1809.
