From ' The Eoyal English Atlas : being a New and Accurate 

 Set of Maps of all The Counties of South Britain, Drawn from 

 Surveys, and the best Authorities ; . . . ', described on the 

 title-page as " By Emanuel Bowen, GTeographer to His late 

 Majesty, Thomas Kitchin, G-eographer, and Others." London, 

 no date, fol. 



This is the atlas I'eferred to by Grough, as noted at p. 206. 

 It contains 4i maps. The only copy I have seen was one in the 

 possession of a bookseller.

* 1777(c). Kitchin, Thomas 25^ x 20^ Scale, about 

 1^ miles = 1 inch. 



An unaltered impression of Kitchin's large map of the county 

 of 1749, as re-issued in 'The Large English Atlas' of 1760 (c) 

 and 1763 (c). This map is from a copy of the atlas in my 

 collection. Loudon, no date, imp. folio. It contains 47 maps 

 only, and is " Printed and Sold by Robert Sayer, Map and Print- 

 seller, at No. 53, in Fleet Street." Two maps in this atlas are 

 dated in 1777 : — England and Wales, June 12th, and Ireland, 

 April 1st, and, as no later date appears in any part of the work, 

 this issue may he ascribed pretty safely to alwut this year. The 

 map of Herts has the following imprint at the foot : " Printed 

 for Robt. Sayer in Fleet Street, John Bowles in Cornhil, and 

 Cariugton Bowles in St. Pauls Church Yard."

An edition of the ' New and Accui-ate Maps of the Counties

 doubt, the map of Heiis noted under date 1760 (c). 



From the same press was also issued in 1777 (?) 'A Geo- 

 graphical Description of the Counties of England and Wales, on 

 Guards, with Direction for Playing.' " Price 2s. the Pack,"* but 

 it is not clear whether these cards had on them maps of the 

 several counties or only letterpress descriptions.
