électronique] : To which are prefix'd the following general maps, viz. I. An accurate
chart of the sea coast, exhibiting all the Royal Docks, fortifications, harbours,
sands &c. II. A map of England and Wales, as divided into counties, with the names
of the cities and county towns; and the length, breadth, and superficial content of
the whole, and each county seperately. III. A map of the great roads, from London,
to all parts of South Britain; with tables shewing the distance of each city, and
town upon the road, from the metropolis, both in computed and measured miles. IV.
A map of all the cross roads, from one great town to another, with the distances from
town to town, both by computation and measure. With the particular, map of each county,
is an account of all the cities, boroughs, market towns, parishes, and rivers therein:
the number of members it sends to Parliament, the market and fair days, and in those
of Oxford and Cambridge, are the names of all the colleges, and halls, in both Universities,
with the dates of their foundations. To the whole is added an alphabetical index,
of all the cities, boroughs, & market towns, properly distinguish'd from each other,
and in what county they are situate. This collection (conveying a more comprehensive
idea of South Britain than any thing hitherto publish'd) was first drawn and complied
into a pocket book by order and for the use of his late Majesty King George I. By
