A propos de cet article

A single folio (42 x 27 cm) volume of the plates to this work, without any text or title pages. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards. A total of 131 engraved illustrations comprising the 122 maps and plates as present in the 1756 edition (with the 20 mile circuit map substituted for the 10 mile one as usual) plus the additional 9 plates of recently erected buildings PLUS an additional 20 mile circuit map, "A New and Accurate Topographical Survey of the environs of London describing all the Roads, Rivers, Parks, Seats, &c. &c. within Twenty Miles of the Metropolis.' engraved by J. Cary and also 'Published as the Act directs, September 7, 1782, by J. Wallis, No. 16, Ludgate Street.". The plates all bound out of any numerical e sequence, and at variance with the earlier editions. No plates numbered 29 or 76 but with two using duplicated numbers 30 & 67. Binding worn, upper cover detached, plate 48 with slight damp-stain. Effectively the fourth edition of this work, first published, 1739 with far fewer plates, expanded in the second edition of 1756 and third of 1760. Or possibly 1775 which had the same quota of plates. But without title pages or text it is verging on impossible to determine between the two editions. Adams, 38, pp.103-4.
