Geological map, Map of the Counties of Cumberland and
Westmorland ... Geologically Coloured, scale about 3.5 miles
to 1 inch, drawn and engraved by W Banks, Edinburgh,
Lothian, published by William Whellan and Co, 1858.
Published in 'THE HISTORY AND TOPOGRAPHY OF THE COUNTIES OF CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND, ... BY WILLIAM WHELLAN. PONTEFRACT; W. WHELLAN AND CO. ... MDCCCLX' 1860. The preface states:- 'an article on the Geology of Cumberland and Westmoreland, with particular reference to the District of the English Lakes, from the pen of the Rev. J. G. Cumming, M.A., F.G.S., Professor of Geology in the Queen's University, Birmingham. From Mr. Cumming's repeated surveys in these districts, and his intimate knowledge of their various strata, he has been able to make many interesting additions to this department of science, and the publishers have no doubt that the Work, with its accompanying Geological Map, will contain a more accurate account of the Geology of the two Counties than any that has yet issued from the press.' Images here are from a map belonging to Threlkeld Mining Museum. A better copy of this map is in the Armitt Museum, folded and tipped in as frontispiece to The History and Topography of the Counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland, edited by William Whellan. |
