WILLIAM SMITH ' HIS MAPS AND MEMOIRS 
SMITH'S MAP OF 1824. 
Beyond a casual reference to the fact that a second edition of Smith's 
small map of England and Wales had been published, I had no evidence 
that a further edition had been issued. Through the good offices of 
Mr. R. H. Barker, however, I have been able to record one. It seems 
that in August, 1916, Mr. Sydney P. Turnbull, J.P., found a roll 
\:ontaining two uncoloured maps of England and Wales, one of which 
he has kindly given to me. It is obviously from the same plate as 
Smith's map of 1820, but the date on the oval title has been altered to 
1824, and the date of the imprint beneath has been similarly dealt 
with, though the day of the month, viz., March 18th, remains. The 
title of this - second edition ' therefore reads : — 
A New / Geological Map / or / England and Wales, / with 
THE Inland Navigations ; / Exhibiting / The Districts of Coal / 
AND OTHER SITES OF MiNERAL TONNAGE / BY W. SmITH, ENGINEER, / 
1824. / London : Published by J. Gary, 86 St. James's Street, Mar. 18, 
1824." 
The map is of the same measurement and scale as that of 1820. 
These two recently discovered copies are not coloured, though the 
tablets appear at the bottom for the colours to be inserted. Whether 
they were ever issued in the coloured state or not. with this date. I 
cannot say. 
This uncoloured impression indicates that the more prominent 
features of the Coal-fields, etc., are shown by dark markings on the 
plate itself, so that the darker patches on the colouring of the earlier 
maps are made without the application of a darker layer of colour. 
They also act as useful guiding lines for the artist. 
On the outer edge of this map, which is uppermost when rolled up, 
is written, apparently by Smith himself, " 2 Geological maps of 
England and Wales / by / W. Smith, &c. / (Uncol.) " ; and in the 
corner is " Map of England."
