Maps, Magna Britannia et Hibernia, Antiqua et Nova, or A
New Survey of Great Britain, published by various people
including Thomas Cox, at The Lamb, Royal Exchange, Cornhill,
London, 1720-31?
In the 6 volume set of Magna Britannia, Westmorland is
pp.1-45 in vol.6, Cumberland pp.365-414+ in vol.1; the
descriptive texts and maps were also published in a series
of parts and sold separately.
Each county has a descriptive text with descriptions of
places in alphabetical order and perhaps some small
engravings; there may be a list of nobility and/or
gentlemen; a natural history of the county; an
ecclesiastical history with notes of monasteries etc; a list
of charity schools; and a table of towns, villages, etc.
This is accompanied by a table of distances, derived from
John Norden, and a map by Robert Morden amended by Herman
Moll.
