	Maps, Westmoreland, and Cumberland, both scales about 7 miles to 1 inch, by Thomas Kitchin, London, 1769. Published in 'Kitchin's Pocket Atlas, of the Counties of South Britain or England and Wales, Drawn to One Scale. By which the true proportion they severally bear to each other may be easily ascertained, with the Measured Distances from London by the nearest Roads annexed, to all the Cities, Borough & Market Towns in the Kingdom. Being the first Set of Counties, ever Published on this Plan, 1769. London Printed for the Author, T. Kitchin Engraver, Map & Printseller, No.59, Holborn Hill; & J. Gapper, Map & Printseller, No.56, New Bond Street.' 1769. The atlas has a title page and 47 plates of county maps, sometimes two to a page; Westmorland and Cumberland are each alone; the maps are like Kitchin 1764 but smaller scale; the atlas size is 12 x 9 ins. Kitchin's idea of having all the maps at one scale was new and experimental, some maps came two to a sheet, some needed a larger sheet, folded; county boundaries had to be fudged to fit. Published in 'Bowles's Pocket Atlas of the Counties of South Britain or England and Wales ... being the only Set of Counties, ever Published on this Plan, London. Printed for & Sold by the proprietor Carington Bowles, No.69 in St. Paul's Church Yard.' about 1778.
