Published by S. A. Oddy, 1812.' probably 1813. The atlas size is 6 1/2 x 10 ins. Published as a 'Second Edition with Considerable Improvements & Additions by G. Herbert, Geographer', 'London, Published by J. Wallis 1814'. One '... Improvement ...' on the 2nd edition is the addition of a meridian, labelled 'Meridian of London', at 0 degrees.
