Bottom right, the title is in a shaded lozenge placed across a finely engraved star indicator of the points of the compass with an elongated northern point crowned with a fleur-de-lis, and Cary's name at the southern point. Below this is the scale.

The border is formed by a thick and a thin line with a double inner line marked off into degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. The latter, being taken from Eyre's map, is correct. Below the bottom border, the imprint and date. The back is plain.

Cary introduced a new high standard of draughtsmanship and engraving, which, coupled with improved cartographical material (due to the numerous recent large-scale surveys of the counties) being available, made this atlas a great advance on any previous work of its kind.

The firm of Cary re-issued this atlas a number of times with the maps and title-page dated 1787, a number of times dated 1793, in 1809, 1812, 1818, 1821, 1823, 1825, 1826, 1827, 1831 and probably at other dates as well. Their successor, G. F. Cruchley, published further editions, brought up-to-date as regards parliamentary representation and by the addition of railways, in 1863, 1868, 1872 and 1875.

Although the date on the title-page of the atlas and at the foot of each map was kept unchanged at Sept. 1st, 1787, many of the maps were revis~d between that date and 1793. The map of Northamptonshire, in the earliest copy I have found so far, shows a number of roads reduced from turnpike to secondary status. These include the roads from North­ampton to Banbury, Northampton to Towcester, and a section of Watling Street from the eighth milestone beyond Towcester to the eighteenth. The mileage numbers on this latter stretch, nine to twenty inclusive, have been removed. The road from Daventry to Newbold has been raised to turnpike status.

In this edition of the atlas, only the title-page and the map of Durham bear the date 1793, the remainder of the maps still bear the date 1787. Thirteen of the maps however have had the imprints re­engrav d in a shorter form. That of Northamptonshire now reads

A bare-looking outline map, without a border or any ornament whatever. It shows rivers, towns, forests, the Oxford Canal, and (very prominently) the names of the adjoining counties.

Top centre, the title. There is no scale. The back is plain. Mr. Basil L.

I suppose that they were usually cropped off and lost, in the binding of the work. The number on the map of North­amptonshire is "16."
