 inches to the mile, is published of the whole of 

 Great Britain, with the exception of a few 

 sparsely populated portions in the north. The

 the district, and to enable one to ascertain 

 approximately distances from railway stations, 

 &c. The six-inch map shows all roads, divisions 

 of meadows, &c, and in the case of a small 

 length of water would be sufficient for reference. 

 The twenty-five inch map, however, is the 

 most valuable, especially if the property is at all 

 broken up, or if there is any complication in the 

 boundaries of the fishing. It shows every 

 meadow — in fact, it is even supposed to show 

 every tree in the meadow — every tributary,
