Map, hand coloured engraving, Cross Roads from One Great
Town to another through England and Wales, scale about 71
miles to 1 inch, by Thomas Badeslade, engraved and published
by William Henry Toms, 1742.
The map is from the beginning of an atlas; it shows the
cross roads joining towns in England and Wales; the map
looks a little strange out of its context, lacking the
principal roads; there is a table of distances between towns
in computed and measured miles.
