Kitchin's Post Chaise Companion, by Thomas Kitchin,
published by Robert Sayer, 53 Fleet Street, John Bowles,

The maps are derived closely from John Senex's, 1719, who derived them from John Ogilby's maps of 1675. The volume is loosely cloth bound; there are a title page, four index pages, two pages tabulating cross roads, a general map of England and Wales, and 103 strip maps; the maps are two sided; the strip maps are documented separately. |
