This large, detailed steel-engraved map of England and Wales is divided into counties and extends to show the southern swath of Scotland as well as unengraved portions of Ireland and France. Towns, cities, rivers, railroads, canals, mail roads, turnpikes, and cross roads are identified. Numbers next to locations indicate their distance relative to London. A compass rose capped with a fleur-de-lis appears next to the title, which is written in elegant calligraphic style.
