John Gary, an engraver, and map and print seller, commenced business 

 at 188, Strand, at the corner of Arundell Street, where he remained till 

 1791, when he removed to 181, Strand. From 1824 he gives his address 

 as 86, St. James's Street — Near the Palace. 



Gary's maps show a marked improvement on all earlier productions, 

 the engraving being beautifully clear and distinct. The first atlas 

 published by him was Cary's Neiv and Correct English Atlas, 1787. 

 This was followed by a beautiful little road-atlas entitledCary'sTraveller's 

 Companion, 1790. A second edition of the Companion was issued, with 

 the title-page dated 1791 and the plates ]792, and other editions down 

 to 1824. 



Mr. George Goode, of the University Library, Cambridge, informs me 

 that he has recently purchased copies of Cary's Traveller's Companion 

 dated 1806 and 1814. 



In 1798 Cary^s New Itinerary was published ; ten subsequent editions 

 of this work were issued between 1798 and 1828. 



Gary in 1808 published the Netv Universal Atlas, containing sixty ; 

 maps in large folio. It was first issued in twenty parts. A second edition | 

 appeared in 1811, and a third in 1819. The following year — 1809 — Gary I 

 brought out the Neiv English Atlas. It contained forty-six maps in j 

 imperial folio, some of which had been separately issued as early as 1801. 

 The work ran through several editions. 



Gary also published A Survey of the Country fifteen miles round 

 London, 1786 ; A New and Accurate Plan of London, 1787 ; A Neio 

 Map of France, divided into Departm^ents, 1790 ; A New Map of England, 

 1794 ; A New Map of Ireland, 1799 ; A New Map of Chinese Tartary, 

 1806 ; A New Map of Spain and Portugal, 1807 ; A New Map of Scot- 

 ^<xwd, 1808; and A New Map of Sweden, Denmark^ and Norway, 1821.
