Christopher Saxton, a topographical draughtsman, was born of an old Yorkshire family at Tingley, near Leeds He was educated at Cambridge, but at what college is not known Afterwards he came to London, and was attached to the household of Thomas Seckford, at whose instigation and expense, and with the authority of Queen Elizabeth, he surveyed and drew maps of every county in England and Wales.

This is the first survey of the counties of England and Wales, and all subsequent maps for over a century were based upon it. The dates of the maps range from 1574-1579, in which year they were published as a complete collection. The maps were engraved by Augustine Ryther, Remigius Hogenberg, Cornelius Hogius (or Hogins), Nicolas Reynolds, Leonard Terwoort, and F. Scatter. There is no evidence, but it is thought that Saxton himself engraved the maps of the Welsh counties.

Thomas Seckford obtained from the Privy Council special facilities for Saxton, “to be assisted in all places where he shall come for the view of such places to describe certain counties in cartes, being thereunto appointed by Her Majestie’s bill under her signet.”

Special injunctions were sent in 1576 to all the justices of peace, mayors, and others in Wales, “to see him conducted unto any towre, castle, high place or hill, to view that country, and that he may be accompanied with ij or iij honest men, such as do best know the country, for the better accomplishment of that service, and that his departure from any town or place that he hath taken the view of, the said towne do set forth a horseman that can speak both Welsh and Englishe to safe-conduct him to the market town.”

The date of Saxton’s death is uncertain, but he was alive as late as 1596, when he surveyed and described the town of Manchester.

Copies of Saxton’s atlas are now very rare, one sold at Christie’s in 1901 realised 90.

ANOTHER EDITION. [GLOCESTER SHIRE 1610. JOHN SPEED]

In [A COLLECTION OF MAPS OF THE COUNTIES OF ENGLAND AND WALES BY JOHN SPEED ] I605-10, fol.

An impression of Speed’s map before the imprint and. date w ere added Plain at the back.

John Speed, historian and cartographer, is said by Fuller to have been born at Farndon, Cheshire, in 1552 His father, a tailor, was admitted to the freedom of the Merchant Taylors Company, April 5th, 1556, and he himself, having followed his father’s trade, was also admitted to that Company in 1580

In 1582 Speed married, and resided probably in Moor Fields, where he leased premises from the Merchant Taylors Company.

He took a keen interest in the antiquities of his country, and Sir Faulk Greville, discovering this, made him an allowance in order that he might be free to demote his whole

attention to study. Speed used his freedom in making maps of the Counties of England and Wales. These, however, he compiled chiefly from the surveys of Christopher Saxton and John Norden.

Between 1605 and 1610 Speed published maps of the Counties of England and Wales, many of which were issued before the plates were finished, as evidenced by the blank cartouches on many of them; while on others the engraver’s name and date are wanting. These omissions were rectified in later issues. A collection of these early impressions is in the British Museum.

The first complete atlas published by Speed was The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain, 1611-12, fol. The first two books are dated 1611, books III Scotland, and IV Ireland, are dated 1612. This was issued as a part of Speed’s History of Great Britain.

Editions of the atlas were issued in 1611-12, 1614, 1627, 1650, 1676, and a reprint, with many corrections by Henry Overton, in 1713, and again in 1743. A Latin translation by Philemon Holland was issued in 1616, and re-issued in 1646.

Jan Jansson, contemporary and rival of Jan Blaeu, was born at Arnheim c 1596, and died at Amsterdam in 1664 He was admitted to the Printers’ Guild in 1618.

In his early days Jansson was associated with Henry Hondius, son of Jodocus, in the completion of the Mercator-Hondius atlas, many of the maps bearing his name Jansson married the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, and on the death of his brother-in law Henry, about 1657, acquired entire control of the business

The earliest publications of Jansson known to me are “Novus Tabularum Geographicarum Belgicae Liber . . . per A Goos Amstelodami, excudebat loannes Iansonius, Anno 1619,” 4to, and a small metal globe 4 1/2 inches in diameter supported by the figure “Atlas” upon which is

mounted a map of the world, bearing the imprint, “Amstelodami excudebat Joannes Janssonius, 1620.”

In 1633 Jansson, together with Henry Hondius, issued L’Appendice de 1’Atlas de G Mercator et J Hondius,” being the second volume of that atlas, and in 1642 appeared the third volume In 1646 vol 4 was issued, containing a description of England in Latin, by William Camden, accompanied by maps of the counties of England and Wales, compiled from those of Saxton and Speed These works completed Jansson’s first atlas in four volumes, dated 1646-47 Subsequently enlarged editions were issued in Dutch, French, German and Latin.

An unaltered impression of the map, with French text on the back.

Vol 4 of the atlas, which is dated 1648, with an address to the reader dated 1645, contains the maps of Great Britain.

Sir H G Fordham, in his Hertfordshire Maps, refers to an edition of this atlas in the Inner Temple Library.

William Blaeu, surveyor, globe-maker, and publisher, was born at Alkmaar, in 1571, and died at Amsterdam 21st October, 1638.

In 1599 he was employed in making globes In 1628 he surveyed the entire coast between the Texel and the Meuse.

Sometime prior to 1606 Blaeu established the famous printing and publishing business at Amsterdam, from which was issued the finest series of atlases ever produced, beginning with a maritime atlas in 1608 and culminating in 1662 with that splendid work the Atlas Major, in n vols The business was carried on under the name of Guilielmus Janssonius, with the result that he was confounded with his rival Johann Janssonius, another famous publisher in the same city.

Among the early publications of William Blaeu was a pair of small globes, 5 1/2 inches in diameter, issued in 1606 Then followed the maritime atlas “Het Licht der Zeevaert door Willem Jans Zoon tot Amsterdam, 1608,” 4to. This was re-issued with title and text in English m 1612 In 1630 appeared his first terrestrial atlas “Atlantis Appendix, sive pars altera, continens tab geographicas diversarum Orbis regionum, nunc pnmum editas Amsterdam Apud Guiljelmum Blaeuw, anno 1630,” fol. A second edition of this work was published in the following year under a new title “Theatri A Ortelii et Atlantis G Mercatoris . . . Amsterdam Apud Guiljelmum Blaeuw, Anno 1631.” The copy of the first edition in the British Museum is believed to be unique F Muller and Co , of Amsterdam, had, however, a similar copy, with some variations, which is also unique.

Johann Blaeu, son of William Blaeu, was born at Amsterdam 23rd September 1596, and died there 28th December, 1673 He studied law while continuing the business of his father After travelling in Italy, he returned to Amsterdam, and on the death of his father in 1638 succeeded to his business He soon made a great reputation, and is thought to have taken precedence of the rival establishment of Johann Janssonius His first publication was the first and second volumes of his father’s atlas: Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive Atlas Novus . . Amstelodami Apud Guilielmum Blaeu, 1638 fol. In conjunction with his brother Cornelius, whom he had taken into partnership in 1640, he brought out the third volume of the atlas, the remainder of the work being issued after the death of Cornelius in 1642 A French edition of the volumes already issued was published in 1640-43, and a German edition in 1641-42.

In 1648 vol 4, containing the counties of England and Wales, was issued.

Blaeu’s most finished and complete work was published in 1662 with Latin text, under the title of Atlas Ma,]or, sive Cosmographia Blaviana, Qua Solum, Salum, Coelum, Accuratissime Describuntur It consists of eleven large folio volumes, each of which has its own distinctive title page, in addition to the general title, and dated 1662 throughout In 1664-65 a French edition, in 12 vols , was published, and re-issued in 1667, all the volumes being so dated A Spanish edition was prepared and issued in 10 volumes in 1672 Vol n, containing America, was never published in this edition The maps, or most of them, are those of the French edition of 1667, and still have the French text at the back, with the Spanish text pasted over it This is accounted for by the fact of the plates having been destroyed in the fire which took place in Blaeu’s establishment February 22nd, 1672, at the time this edition was in preparation This last edition is now extremely rare.

About 1647 Blaeu published a pair of globes, each 24 inches in diameter These are now extremely rare There is a pair at Trinity House, London, and a copy in eighteen segments to each globe in the British Museum.

Under the heading “Globes,” in the ninth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica it says “We learn that a pair of fine globes by Blaeu is preserved in the Bibliotheque de Bourges” Probably these are the same as those in Trinity House.

Blaeu had an extensive foreign business, and in 1663 is known to have possessed a second establishment in Vienna On the night of February 22nd, 1672, his printing house at Amsterdam was destroyed by fire, and with it perished the greater part of his publications, and nearly all the plates belonging to his geographical works Those plates which were saved passed into the bands of Frederick de Wit, who engraved his name upon them and issued them as his own. De Wit’s business eventually came into the possession of Covens and Mortier, when the inscriptions were again altered to Covens and Mortier.

Richard Blome, a publisher and compiler of some celebrity, aided by subscriptions, issued many splendid works. Originally he was a ruler of paper, and afterwards a heraldic painter. His Britannia is described by Bishop Nicholson as “a most entire piece of theft out of Camden and Speed.” And Gough, in his Anecdotes of British Topography, p. 24, calls it “a most notorious piece of plagiarism.” Blome died in 1707.

John Seller, Hydrographer to Charles II, was a publisher and compiler of maps and charts. For many years he lived at the Hermitage, Wapping, and also had a shop in Exchange Alley, Cornhill.

His principal publications consisted of maritime atlases and charts. In 1671 he published The English Pilot, and in 1675 The Atlas Maritimus. The charts in these works were taken mainly from Dutch publications, and some were actually printed from the original plates, with the Dutch title imperfectly erased, and an English title, with Seller’s name, substituted. On March i6th, 1671, privilege was granted by the King for the protection of Seller’s atlases and charts for thirty years.

Strutt, in his Biographical Dictionary of Engravers, London, 1785, vol. 2, p. 373, under the heading Gerard Valk, hays: “He worked some time for David Loggan; and also assisted Peter Schenk in publishing the large Dutch Atlas, in two volumes folio, 1683.” I have not seen a copy of this atlas, but there are in the British Museum separate copies of Jansson’s maps of most of the English counties, with the imprint of Schenk and Valk. These appear to be earlier impressions than those in Atlas Anglois, 1724, and are, probably, from the above-mentioned atlas of 1683.

On some of his maps he calls himself “Globe maker at the Atlas and Hercules in Cheapside “In 1703 his widow published A New Map of the French Lines in the Province of Brabant.

Gibson, in his preface, states that “The maps are all newly engrav’d, either according to Surveys never before pubhsh’d, or according to such as have been made and printed since Saxton and Speed. Where actual Surveys could be had, they were purchas’d at any rate; and for the rest, one of the best Copies extant was sent to some of the most knowing Gentlemen in each County, with a request to supply the defects, rectifie the positions, and correct the false spellings. And that nothing might be wanting to render them as complete and accurate as might be, this whole business was committed to Mr. Robert Morden, a person of known abilities in these matters, who took care to revise them, to see the slips of the Engraver mended, and the corrections, return’d out of the several Counties, duly inserted. Upon the whole, we need not scruple to affirm, that they are by much the fairest and most correct of any that have yet appear’d.”

Robert Morden, geographer, began business in London as a map and globe-maker in 1668. In 1688 he was in partnership with Thomas Cockerill, at the Atlas in Cornhill. He published a considerable number of maps and geographical works, including Geography Rectified, 1688; maps in Geography Anatomized,, or, a complete Geographical Grammar, 1693; and The New Description and State of England, etc. Morden died in St. Christopher-le-Stocks, London, 1703./

This is an idealised view of Gloucestershire looking northward, taken from south of the Avon. Shows the towns, hills and rivers. In the foreground is a tree occupying almost the whole of the left-hand side of the plate. The Severn is seen wending its way through the middle of the picture, from north-east to south-west. In the extreme north a huge mountain is seen, from which flows the river Liddon. Within the plate mark, above the picture, is the title and dedication, and also “before page 72.” Within the plate mark, below the picture, is a note giving distances from Bristol to the various county towns, and from London to Gloucester, and below, the imprint and date.

Accompanying the view are two plates, numbered 72 and 73. with descriptive and historical notes of Gloucester�shire. At the top of plate 72, within an ornamental device, are the arms of the city of Gloucester.

This work is dated in the colophone, 1749, and was probably first published at that time. The bird’s-eye views, however, are variously dated 1750-54. Therefore the complete work with the views could not have been published before the latter date.

Gough, in British Topography, vol. i. p. 99, after referring to The English Atlas by T. Kitchin and E. Bowen, 1765, says: “The Royal English Atlas, by the same hands, consists only of 44 maps; and a general one of England, smaller folio, to be had singly for a shilling, and the others for eighteenpence. Mr. Bowen, reduced by family extravagances, and almost blind through age, had begun to engrave them on a long quarto, in eighteen-penny numbers of three maps each; but, dying May, 1767, before he had finished above three or four numbers, they were continued by his son.”

A REPRINT OF ROCQUE’S MAP OF 1753.

In THE SMALL BRITISH ATLAS . . . BY JOHN ROCQUE . . . 1764, 8vo.

I have not seen this edition. It is referred to by Gough in his British Topography, vol. i. p. 98, where he sets out the title in full.

John Rocque probably died about 1764 or 1765. Mary Ann Rocque, his widow, published a plan of the City of York, at Rocque’s old address “near Old Round Court Strand,” m 1766. Later she removed to West Street, Seven Dials. In A Collection of Plans of the Principal Cities of Great Britain and. Ireland, published by A. Dury, it is stated in the title that the plans were from surveys taken by the late Mr. J. Rocque, but there is no evidence to show when this work was published. It may have been issued in 1765, 1766, or even later.

TO THE SUBSCRIBERS IN GENERAL, AND MORE PARTICULARLY TO THOSE NOBLEMEN AND GENTLEMEN WHO HONOURED ME WITH THEIR ASSISTANCE IN THE SURVEY; THIS MAP OF THE COUNTY OF GLOUCESTER IS HUMBLY DEDICATED BY THEIR OBEDIENT & MOST HUMBLE SERVANT ISAAC TAYLOR. ROSS, MARH. 10, 1777. A SCALE OF MILES, 4. [=3 3/4 inches]. 46 x 52 3/4 in.

The first map of the county on a large scale, beautifully engraved, giving minute details. Hitherto the maps of the county have been compiled chiefly from Saxton’s survey. This is an entirely new survey, from which all succeeding maps, down to the Ordnance Survey of 1828-31, were compiled.

Shows towns, villages, hamlets, churches, chapels, religious houses, gentlemen’s seats and houses (in some cases the name of the occupier is given), inns, camps, sites of battles, commons, hills, hundreds, forests, woods, parks, fire engines, forges, coalpits, water-mills, windmills, roads, rivers and bridges.

Top left-hand corner, five views of Berkeley, Beverstone, St. Briavels, Sudeley, and Thornbury Castles. Bottom right-hand corner, an elaborate cartouche, surmounted with the arms of the bishops of Bristol and Gloucester, in which is placed diagonally the dedication and title. Below the title, within the cartouche: “KB, Estates are Survey’d & Mapped in a very Accurate & Neat manner at ye usual Prices. Also Maps Reduced & Drawn in the manner of Engraving.” Below the cartouche, a symbolical picture showing fruit, merchandise, factories, and shipping. To the left, the “Explanation” and scale. Below the scale: “NB,, Where a Mitre is prefixed to the mark of a Religious House it signifies a Mitred Abby and the letters A, B, C, signify St. Augustines, Benedictines, Carmelites, &c.” Above the explanation, an elaborate compass indicator with four radiating lines. On the left of the explanation, a note referring to the parish of Sutton under Brailes.

The border is formed by a thick line, with a double inner line marked off into degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude are drawn across the map at every three minutes, and longitude at every five minutes.

Isaac Taylor, surveyor and engraver, was born in the city of Worcester, Dec. 13th, 1730. In the early part of his career he is said to have worked as a brassfounder, a silver�smith, and a surveyor.

About 1752 Taylor left home and made his way to London, walking by the side of a wagon. He found employment, first at a silversmith’s and then with Thomas Jefferys, the geographer, for whom he engraved a number of plates;for the London magazine.

In 1754 Taylor married Sarah Hackshaw Jefferys, niece of Thomas Jefferys.

Soon after its incorporation, in January, 1765, Taylor was admitted a Fellow of the Society of Artists, and in 1774 he was appointed Secretary of the Society. At one time he lived at Hollis Street, Clare Market. In about 1770 he appears to have moved to the Bible and Crown, Holborn; in 1773 he moved to Chancery Lane, and in 1776 back to Holborn.

He surveyed the counties of Dorset, 1765; Gloucester, 1777; Hants, 1759; Hereford, 1754; Oxford, 1750; and Worcester, 1772.

Soon after 1780 Taylor retired to Edmonton, where he died Oct. 17th, 1807.

Below the border, Kitchin’s imprint is re�placed by “Published as the Act directs, 3. Jan. 1785.” Top right-hand corner, “14” is added.

Sir H. G. Fordham, in his Hertfordshire Maps, thinks it probable that a smaller edition of the New Medium English Atlas was issued by Carington Bowles in 1785.

Sir H. G. Fordham also thinks that the New Medium English Atlas was re-issued by Bowles and Carver, as he has seen an impression of the map of Hertfordshire with their imprint.

In CARY’S NEW AND CORRECT ENGLISH ATLAS: BEING A NEW SET OF COUNTY MAPS FROM ACTUAL SURVEYS . . . LONDON. PRINTED FOR JOHN CARY, ENGRAVER, MAP AND PRINT-SELLER, THE CORNER OF ARUNDEL STREET, STRAND. PUBLISHED AS THE ACT DIRECTS SEPTR. 1ST, 1787, 4to.

A beautifully-engraved map, showing towns, villages, houses, parks, Forest of Dean, roads (with distances marked in figures), rivers and bridges. Boroughs returning members to Parliament are indicated by asterisks. The main roads are carried across the county boundary, and their destination given.

Bottom right-hand corner, a finely engraved star indicator of the compass, with an elongated northern point and Cary’s name at the southern points. Across the star is an oblong shaded panel bearing the title. Below, near the border, the scale.

The border is formed by a thick and thin line, with a double inner line marked off into degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. Between the border lines, at the bottom, “Longitude West from London.” Outside the border, at the bottom, the imprint.

The map is accompanied by a page of text; both map and text are plain at the back.

John Cary, an engraver and map and print seller, commenced business at 188 Strand, at the corner of Arundel Street, in about 1783. He had, however, been engraving maps some few years before this. There is in the British Museum: “A Plan of the Navigable Canals made and now making in England. J. Cary sculpt. London, Published . . . by T. Lowndes . . . May 29, 1779.” In the volume containing this plan are other undated plans of canals bearing Cary’s signature, which may be of a still earlier date.

In 1791 Cary removed to 181, Strand, where he remained till about 1824, when he gives his address as 86, St. James’s Street, Near the Palace. After 1831 publications appeared under the name of G. & J. Cary.

It is uncertain when John Cary died, but Sir H. G. Fordham thinks that possibly he was alive as late as 1836.

Cary’s maps show a marked improvement on all previous publications, the engraving being beautifully clear and distinct. Sir H. G. Fordham, in his notes on John Cary, Engraver and Map-Seller . . . Cambridge . . . 1910, says: “It is not too much to say that Cary introduced a character and method of delineation which has dominated our cartographers from the end of the eighteenth century to the present time. . . . Cary’s map-drawing is marked by a particular delicacy and clearness, and has always the brilliancy which can be developed by the skilful hand upon copper-plate.” The same authority also states in a footnote on page 24 of his Notes on British and Irish Itineraries and Road-Books, Hertford, 1912, “I have since completed a bibliography of this geographical publisher [John Cary], whose output of maps, and topographical and other works was very considerable, including at least 500 separate maps, and whose work marks an epoch in the cartographical art as developed in England.”

Aaron Arrowsmith, afterwards a famous geographer, came to London from his native place in the county of Durham in the year 1770, and, according to the Dictionary of National Biography (vol. ii. p. 123), first found employment with John Cary, for whose county maps he made all the pedometer measurements and drawings. To him, in some measure, must be attributed the excellency of Cary’s maps.

The first atlas published by Cary was Cary’s New and Correct English Atlas, 1787. This was followed by a beautiful little road atlas entitled Cary’s Traveller’s Companion . London, 1790, 8vo. The plates are dated Sepr. 1, 1789. A second edition was issued with the title-page dated 1791, and the plates 1792; other editions followed down to 1824.

In 1798 Cary’s New Itinerary was published. Ten subsequent editions of this work were issued between 1798 and 1828.

Cary, in 1808, published the New Universal Atlas, containing sixty maps in large folio. It was first issued in twenty parts of three maps each, the plates being dated from 1799 to 1807. A second edition appeared in 1811, and a third in 1819. The following year, 1809, Cary brought out the New English Atlas, containing 46 maps, in imperial folio, some of which had been separately published as early as 1801. Accompanying this atlas is: An Index containing The Cities, Market and Borough Towns, Parishes, and such other -places as are Chargeable with Poor Rates, through�out England and Wales; shewing The Amount -paid agreeably to Returns made to Parliament, for the year ending Easter 1803; also the Number of Houses in, and the Population of each Place, etc. The work ran through several editions.

Among the numerous maps issued by Cary may be mentioned A New and Accurate Topographical Survey of the Environs of London, 1783. A Survey of the Country fifteen miles round London, 1786. A New and Accurate Plan of London, 1787. Cary’s New Map of England, in 81 sheets, 1794. A New Map of France Divided into departments as decreed by the National Assembly January 1.st. 1790, 1799. A New Map of Ireland, and A New Map of Chinese Tartary, 1806. A New Map of Spain and Portugal, 1807. A New Map of Scotland, 1808. A New Map of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, 1831. Cary’s Improved Map of England and Wales . . . planned upon a scale of two statute miles to one inch, 1832. A New and Accurate Map of the Country twelve miles round London, 1833; and an edition of the New Plan of London, dated 1836, this being the latest map on which Cary’s name appears.

Sir H. G. Fordham has evidently seen a copy of this edition with the maps dated 1793, as he quotes the Hertford� shire map as being re-engraved and dated 1793, and states that: “The maps in this series are all of the same date, except that of Dorset, which is dated (in error) 1795.”

A well engraved map, coloured in hundreds, very similar to Cary’s map of the same year. It is the first to give the longitude from Greenwich. Shows towns (with their distances from London in miles), villages, churches and chapels, gentlemen’s seats, parks, forests, woods, hills, hundreds (with names indicated by numbers), canals, roads (with distances in miles from town to town), rivers and bridges. The map breaks into the border in two places on the eastern side. The roads are carried over the county boundary, and their destinations given.

The map of England, and those of the counties, are dated January 6th. 1801, and were issued separately at that time. They were brought together, with a map of Wales in two sheets dated 1804, and published collectively in that year.

These maps bear a considerable resemblance to those in Cary’s New English Atlas . . . London . . . 1809, so much so that one would imagine they were taken from the same source.

Sir H. G. Fordham states that editions were issued in 1808, i8i8, 1821, 1827, 1843 and 1846; but the only copies known to me are those in the British Museum, 1804 and 1808.

A beautifully engraved map. The first map of Cary’s to give the longitude from Greenwich. The survey and drawing were very probably executed by the famous geographer, Aaron Arrowsmith, who assisted Cary in the production of his county maps. There is a great similarity between this and C. Smith’s map of the same year.

Shows towns, villages, hamlets, some churches, seats, parks, hills, hundreds (with their names), forests, woods, the Thames and Severn Canal, roads and rivers.

The main roads are named, and on the Bristol to London road the distances from London are given mile by mile. On other roads the distances from town to town are marked in miles. At all the towns the distance from London is indicated. The main roads are carried across the county boundary, and their destinations given. Coloured in hundreds.

Top left-hand corner, a star indicator of the points of the compass. Bottom right-hand comer, an “oval plaque, shaded around the bottom edge, containing the title. Below, in an oblong panel, vertically shaded, the scale.”

The border is formed by two fine lines, with an inter�mediate thick one, and a double inner line marked off into degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. Between the border lines at the bottom: “Longitude West from Greenwich.” Below the border, the imprint.

The border is formed by a thick line between two fine ones, with a double inner line marked off into degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude, which are expressed in figures at every five minutes The space of three eighths of an inch between the two sets of lines is hatched, the outer edge having double lines.

C and J Greenwood, surveyors and publishers, projected a complete series of county maps on the scale of one inch to the mile The survey began in 1815 with Yorkshire, and continued till 1834 An advertisement of these maps, dated 1824, shows that fifteen counties had already been issued It is stated that the work “Has now been proceeded in with unremitting application during a period of nearly Ten Years,” and “They trust they can with propriety assert, that within the further period of about Six Years they will be enabled to accomplish the highest object of their ambition, in the completion of the first uniform Series of Maps of the English and Welch [sic] Counties ever made from actual survey “.

The whole of this set (with the exception of the maps of Bucks Cambs, Hereford, Herts, Norfolk and Oxfordshire, which were never published), with South-East Wales, and a very fine map of London make a series of thirty-four splendid maps, completed about 1834

In 1820 they began the publication of a series of smaller maps, including the Welsh counties, compiled from the original surveys. They were issued as an atlas in 1834, with the title “Atlas of the Counties of England from Actual Surveys made from the years 1817 to 1833 by C & J Greenwood Published April 1st 1834” fol.

BRYANT, 27, GREAT ORMOND STREET; DECEMBER 1st. 1824. SCALE OF MILES, 6 [=8 3/4 inches]. 66 x 73 in.

The space of three-quarters of an inch, between the two sets of lines, is hatched with double lines on the outer edge.

Below the border in the bottom left-hand corner, “Proof.” Towards the right-hand corner, an additional imprint. Published in six sheets, each about 38 X 24 1/2 inches.

A. Bryant, a surveyor, published his own works from his private residence in Great Ormond Street. Judging from the works issued, he appears to have been a fairly successful rival of C. & J. Greenwood.

Bryant published maps of the following counties: Bedford, 1826; Bucks, 1825; Chester, 1831; Gloucester, 1824; Hereford, 1835; Hertford, 1822; Lincoln, 1828; Norfolk, 1826; Northampton, 1827; Oxford, 1824; Suffolk, 1826; Surrey, 1823; and East Riding of Yorkshire, 1829.

In the case of the counties of Bucks, Hereford, Hertford, Norfolk, and Oxford, Bryant filled gaps left by Greenwood; but Cambridgeshire does not appear to have been issued by either of them. Apparently Greenwood and Bryant were surveying some of the counties at the same time, which seems a somewhat remarkable proceeding; but it must be remembered that some of the counties had already been surveyed, and the maps published, by the Board of Ordnance. Nothing is known of Bryant beyond what can be gathered from his maps.

ORDNANCE SURVEY OF ENGLAND AND WALES. SCALE OF STATUTE MILES, 5 [=5 inches]. 1805-1844. SIZE OF SHEETS 29 x 24 1/2 in.

Strictly speaking this is not a county map, but a general map of England from the south up to the “Hull Preston line.” Sheets 33, 34, 43 and 44 take in Gloucestershire.

There is no general title to this map. Below the border, on sheets 34 and 44, left-hand corner: “Published at the Tower of London 12th. of August 1828 by Lieut.-Colonel Colby of the Royal Engineers;” in the middle, the scale, and in the right-hand corner: “Engraved at the Ordnance Map Office in the Tower, under the Direction of Lieut.-Colonel Colby by Benjn. Baker & Assistants. The writing by Ebenr. Bourne.” Sheet 33 is dated 1830, and 43, 1831.

The Ordnance Survey is too well known to require any description beyond a passing remark that it is hill shaded, and all the surface features are given.

This is the first map prepared from a scientific survey. The triangulation of the country was commenced in 1784, and the first publication (Kent) issued in 1801. From 1777 down to this time the new maps of Gloucestershire were based upon the survey of Isaac Taylor, but from 1831 the Ordnance became the basis of all maps of Gloucestershire.
