the plate: also the actual size of the map in inches. A detailed 

 description follows giving all other particulars appearing on the 

 plate; and any text at the hack of the map is noted. 



Last of all, except where a map has heen separately published, 

 the full title of the work in which it appeared is given ; and oc- 

 casionally, a biographical note has been added. The titles, being 

 given in detail, incidentally furnish a complete record of the Atlases 

 of England and Wales. 



The majority of tlie maps are in the liritish Museum; but I am 

 indebted to Mr. George Goode, of the Cambridge University Library,

 Survey, 1885, there being nothing of antiquarian interest after

names of authors, engravers, and publishers, shows at a glance the 



whole of the work for which each individual is responsible, and, 



more especially, the life of any particular map — its various editions, 



its different forms, and the works in which it has appeared.
