BEFORE dealing with the plan and arrangement adopted in this List of Somersetshire Maps, it may be useful to review the history of English cartography, although as a matter of fact I am able to add but little to what has already appeared in the introduction to my " Descriptive Catalogue of the Printed Maps of Gloucester- shire." Glancing backward one can but feel that the subject has not received that attention from bibliographers which its importance demands. In 1780 Richard Gough published his British Topo- graphy, or an Historical Account of what has been done for Illustrating the Topographical Antiquities of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1818 William Upcott issued A Bibliographical Account of the Prin- cipal Works relating to English Topography, in 3 vols., and in 1881 appeared The Book of British Topography, by J. P. Anderson. These are valuable works, but they cover the ground of topography rather than cartography. There were no bibliographies devoted entirely to English cartography until Sir H. G. Fordham issued his valuable works : " Hertfordshire Maps : A Descriptive Cata- logue of the Maps of the County, 1579-1900," published in the Transactions of the Hertfordshire Natural History Society and Field Club, 1901-7, and re-issued as a complete publication in 1907 ; and "Cambridgeshire Maps : A Descriptive Catalogue of the Maps of the County . . . 1579-1900," published in the Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, 1905-8. This also was re-issued as a complete work in 1908. In the meantime, 1907, Mr. William Harrison contributed to the Transactions of the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society, vi INTRODUCTION. Vol. xxv, his useful " Early Maps of Lancashire and their Makers " ; and in 1908 he communicated to the same society (Vol. xxvi) his " Early Maps of Cheshire." In 1911 the present writer placed before the public, through the medium of the Wiltshire Archceo- logical and Natural History Society, Vol. xxxvn, " A Descriptive Catalogue of the Printed Maps of Wiltshire " ; and in 1913, " A Descriptive Catalogue of the Printed Maps of Gloucestershire, 1577- 1911," issued by the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archceological Society. In 1912 Mr. T. Sheppard, Curator of the Municipal Museums, Hull, issued, through the Transactions of the East Riding Antiquarian Society, Vol. xxix, his '' East Yorkshire History in Plan and Chart." Very good progress has now been made in this direction ; but many counties still remain to be dealt with by the bibliographer. With regard to the birth and growth of cartography, there is evidence that the Babylonians, Greeks, and others, practised it at an early date. In our National Institution are some maps drawn on clay and afterwards baked. They consist of a map of the world as known to the Babylonians (B.C. 500) ; a plan of the city of Tuba ; a plan of the city of Babylon, showing the position of the temple of the God of Bel ; and, on some fragments, portions of a plan of a large building in Babylon, probably a Royal Palace, with measurements of the buildings and open courts. These are reproduced in Cuneiform Texts from Babylonian Tablets, &c., in the British Museum. Part xxn. London, 1906. Fol. A. E. Nordenskiold, in the notes to his Facsimile Atlas tells us that : " Herodotus begins the 49th chapter of his fifth book Terp- sichore with the following words : ' When Cleomenes was king in Sparta, Aristagoras, the ruler of Miletus, arrived there. And when the latter went to speak with Cleomenes, he brought with him so the Lacedemonians say a copper-plate, on which the circle of the whole earth was engraved, and the ocean and all the rivers.' This happened in about the year 500 B.C. We have no further information about this map, and the conjectures that it was constructed by Hecatseus . . . and who, according to a quotation by Strabo (lib. I, cap. I) from Eratosthenes, made the first map of the world, are without any foundation But it is in this passage of Herodotus that a map is mentioned in literature INTRODUCTION. vii for the first time, and that not merely as a valuable curiosity, but as the means of explaining the relative position and extension of the dominions of the King of Persia." Rules are given in Strabo's Geography (B.C. 54 A.D. 24), for the drawing of maps, and it is said that he possessed a map of the British Isles. At best it must have been of a very crude character, and could have had but little resemblance to maps of to-day. Claudius Ptolemaeus, the famous geographer of Alexandria who lived in the first half of the second century A.D., made the earliest known map of the British Isles ; it was printed in his Geography dated 1462 [or rather 1472 J. The Itinerary of Castorius, a MS. generally known as the Peutinger Table, which was probably made in the twelfth century, includes a portion of the south-east coast of England. This portion was reproduced in Gough's British Topography, 1780. The Gough Collection in the Bodleian Library contains a very fine map of Great Britain, drawn on two skins of vellum in about 1300. A reduced facsimile by Basire is given in Gough's British Topography, and it was again reproduced in 1875 at the Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton. Matthew of Paris in his manuscript history, written about the middle of the thirteenth century, gives a map of Great Britain entitled : " Britannia, nunc dicta Anglia, quae complectitur Sco- ciam, Galeweiam & Walliam." This also was included by Gough in his British Topography. Coming down to modern times, we find the earliest engraved map of the British Isles is by George Lilly, son of the grammarian, published in 1546 at Rome, where Lilly had lived some years with Cardinal Pole. The first engraved map of England and Wales is that of Humphrey Lhuyd, published in Abraham Ortelius' Additamentum Theatri Orbis Terrarum, 1573. No survey of the English counties was, however, produced until 1579, when Christopher Saxton, who had been granted special facilities by the Privy Council to enable him to carry on the work with as little delay as possible, published his atlas of the counties of England and Wales. From this work Peter Keer, or to be exact, Pieter van den Keere, engraved a set of small maps of the viii INTRODUCTION. counties, many of which bear the signature " Petrus Kaerius Coelavit," and a few the date " 1599." John Norden, who was born in 1548 and died about 1625, was the first to project a complete series of county histories, but un- fortunately he was never able to finish the work. A Privy Council Order, dated at Hampton Court, 27th January, 1593, addressed to Lieutenants and others of counties, gave Norden authority to : " Travil through England and Wales to make more perfect de- scriptions, charts, and maps," and that year saw the production of his Speculum Britannice. The first parte. Middlesex. J. Norden . . . descripsit, 1593. An expedition undertaken by Norden in 1595 resulted in A Chorographicall Discription of the severall Shires and Islands of Middlesex, Surrey, Sussex, Hamshire [sic], Weighte, Garnsey, & Jarsey. Performed by the traveyle and view of John Norden, 1595. This is now in the MS. department of the British Museum (Ad. 31,853). He also surveyed Cornwall, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Northamptonshire, the last being finished in 1610. Norden, however, only published two descriptions : Middlesex, 1593, and Hertfordshire. 1598. The following counties were published after his death : Speculi Britannice pars altera : or, a delineation of Northamptonshire . . . By the Travayle of John Norden in the year 1610. London . . . 1720. 8. The map and plan referred to in this work were never engraved. Speculi Britannice pars. A topographical & historical description of Cornwall . . . By John Norden . . . London . . . sold by Christopher Bateman, 1728. 4to. Speculi Britannice pars : an historical and chorographical description of the county of Essex, by John Norden, 1594 . . . Edited by Sir Henry Ellis. London . . . 1840. 4to. In passing, attention may be drawn to the very interesting and artistic maps of Robert Adams, engraved by Augustinus Ryther, showing the engagements of the English and Spanish fleets in the English Channel, and the course of the Spanish Armada around the British Isles. They were published under the title of Expe- ditionis Hispanorum in Angliam vera descriptio, Anno Do : MD.LXXXVm. The sixth edition of Camden's Britannia, issued hi 1607, contains INTRODUCTION. ix maps of the counties of England and Wales, copied and engraved by William Kip and William Hole, from Saxton and Norden's maps. In like manner John Speed also used Saxton and Korden's maps for his Theatre of the Empire, of Great Britaine, many of them being engraved by Jodocus Hondius. The first edition of this work was published in 1611, and many editions, as well as various abridgments, were from time to time issued. The middle of the seventeenth century saw the keen rivalry between the establishments of Blaeu and Jansson at Amsterdam. Each endeavoured to surpass the other in producing the various volumes of their general atlas of the world. In 1646 Jan Jansson issued the fourth volume of his atlas, consisting of maps of Great Britain and Ireland. But alas ! originality was not a strong point of the work, the maps of England being compiled from Saxton and Speed, and the text taken bodily from Camden's Britannia. Two years later Jan Blaeu followed with the fourth volume of his atlas. But here again maps and text were derived from the same sources. Contemporaneously with the development of cartography in England and the Netherlands, a school of geographers was growing up in France, of which Nicolas Sanson, of Abbeville (royal geo- grapher from 1627 to the time of his death in 1667), and his sons Adrian, Nicolas, and Guillaume Sanson, were the earlier and more important members. Other able workers followed, but, as far as is known, no atlas of English county maps was produced by French cartographers. Towards the end of the seventeenth century, when the Dutch school of cartographers was fast dying out, English engravers and map-makers became more numerous, and their works more prolific. In 1675 John Ogilby issued his Britannia, which, however, only consists of long strips showing the roads, with notes and geographical features of the adjacent country. During the following century a number of collections of English maps were issued by Richard Blome, John Seller, Philip Lea, Robert Morden, Hermann Moll, John Overton, Thomas Kitchin, Emanuel Bowen, Thomas Jefferys, John Ellis, John Bowles, Thomas Bowles and Carington Bowles. In the latter half of the eighteenth century considerable impetus x INTRODUCTION. was given to the production of large scale county maps by the Society of Arts who, in 1759, announced that: "The Society proposes to give a Sum not exceeding 100Z. as a Gratuity to any Person or Persons, who shall make an accurate actual Survey of any County . . . and if any Person or Persons do propose to make such Survey, they are desired to signify their particular Intentions, on or before the second Tuesday in November next, that the Society may not engage in greater Expences than shall be found con- venient." This offer, in slightly varying terms, was repeated in the Society's publication of Premiums for 1762, 63, 64, and 65. The first offer accepted was for a map of Dorsetshire by Isaac Taylor. This was published in 1765, but for some reason or other Taylor did not receive the award. It probably did not give com- plete satisfaction, as Gough, in his British Topography, Vol. I, p. 328, says : u A capital survey of this county . . . was pub- lished by I. Taylor 1765, in six sheets . . . This, though the most particular, is very faulty in the place names." In the same year appeared : A Map of the County of Devon . . . on twelve sheets . . . the scale an inch to a mile. By Benjamin Donn . . . Engraved by Thomas Jefferys. 1765. Under the heading " Premiums adjudged in Polite Arts," in " Appendix. Containing an Account of the Premiums and Bounties given Anno 1765-6," is " For Survey of the County of Devon. lOOiL to Mr. Benjamin Donn," this being the first award by the Society. Other counties for which premiums or medals were given com- prise the following : Derby by P. P. Burdett, 1767, who received the award of 100. Northumberland by Capt. Andrew Armstrong, 1769, who received 50 guineas in 1773. Leicestershire by John Prior, 1779, who received 20 guineas and a silver medal. Somer- setshire by Day and Masters, 1782. Suffolk by Joseph Hodskinson, 1783. Lancashire by P. P. Burdett, 1787. Hampshire surveyed by Thomas Milne 1791, for which William Faden received 50 in 1793. Sussex by W. Gardner and T. Yeakell, for which Faden received a gold medal in 1796. Oxfordshire by Richard Davis, 1797. North Wales by John Evans, 1795. Cardiganshire by Joseph Singer, for which John Gary received a gold medal in 1804. Shropshire by Robert Baugh, 1808. INTRODUCTION. xi Large scale maps of other counties were produced, which do not appear to have received recognition, notably : Wiltshire by An- drews & Dury in 1773, and Yorkshire by Thomas Jefferys, 1771. In 1802 the Society of Arts offered three gold medals for geo- logical maps of England, Ireland, and Scotland. Each map to be on a scale of not less than 10 miles to the inch. There is no record that these medals were awarded ; but as an outcome of the offer, William Smith, known as the father of British Geology, made a large Geological Map of England and Wales, on the scale of 5 miles to the inch, and, being a poor man, he was awarded 50 by the same Society to assist him in publishing it. In 1805, Smith received a medal from the Society of Arts for draining Priesley Bog. In 1803 Richard Horwood was awarded 50 guineas for his Plan of London on the scale of about 25 inches to one mile, in 32 sheets, published in 1799. Little is known of Horwood, except that he was surveyor to the Phoenix Fire Office, and it is said he produced his map for the use of that office. Down to 1782 cartographers compiled their maps of Somerset- shire mainly from those of Saxton and Speed, but in that year W. Day issued the map mentioned above, and this in turn formed the basis of all new maps of the county until the publication of the Ordnance Survey in 1809-17. The works of John Gary, produced during the latter part of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries, attained a high standard of excellence. In 1787 Gary issued his first atlas of England and Wales, and, two years later, this was followed by a splendid little road atlas of the English counties. In 1809 he published his New English Atlas in folio. His large map of England, on the scale of two miles to the inch, which compares favourably with the Ordnance Survey on the same scale, was produced in 1832. The surveying and triangulation of the Board of Ordnance commenced in 1784, but their first publication (a map of Kent) did not appear until 1801. The regular issue of the Ordnance Survey maps practically put an end to all private enterprise in surveying. But there were two notable exceptions : a magni- xii INTRODUCTION. ficent series of county maps by C. and J. Greenwood, and another, though very incomplete, by A. Bryant, both produced in the second decade of the nineteenth century. Having briefly reviewed the birth and growth of cartography, we may be allowed to explain the plan of the present work. The arrangement is chronological, that is, according to the date on the map, or if the map is undated the date of the work from which it is taken. Reprints and new editions are given under the year in which they were issued, and take precedence of the new maps of that year. Except where otherwise indicated each map has been examined and systematically described ; the title and the names of the author and engraver are given precisely as on the plate, together with the actual size of the map in inches. The full title of the work in which it appeared is also noted, thus incidentally furnishing a complete list of the atlases and books containing county maps of England and Wales. A detailed description of the map follows, giving all particulars appearing on the plate, and the text on the back. Biographical notes of some of the more distinguished cartographers have also been added. With few exceptions the maps are in the British Museum ; but to those that are not, indications are given where they are to be found, or the source from which information has been obtained about them. The tabular index, in which the maps are arranged under the names of authors, engravers and publishers, shows at a glance the whole of the work for which each individual is responsible, and more especially the life of each particular map, its various editions, its different forms, and the works in which it has appeared. In conclusion, the compiler, who owes much to the facilities he enjoys by reason of his long connection with the Map Room of the British Museum, desires to express his sincere thanks to Sir H. G. Fordham, and also to Mr. George Goode of the Cambridge University Library, without whose help this work would have been far less complete. THOMAS CHUBB. June, 1914. SAXTON'S PLATE II. , 1575.

Christopher Saxton, a topographical draughtsman, was born of an old Yorkshire family at Tingley, near Leeds. He was educated at Cambridge, but at what college is not known. Afterwards he came to London and was attached to the house- hold of Thomas Seckford, at whose instigation and expense, 2 MAPS OF SOMERSETSHIRE. and with the authority of Queen Elizabeth, he surveyed and drew maps of every county in England and Wales. This was the first survey of the Counties of England and Wales and all subsequent county maps, for over a century, were based upon it. The dates of the maps range from 1574-79, in which year they were published as a complete collection. The maps were drawn by Saxton and engraved by Augustine Ryther, Remigius Hogenberg, Cornelius Hogius (or Hogins), Nicolas Reynolds, Leonard Terwoort and F. Scatter. There is no evidence, but it is thought that Saxton himself engraved the maps of the Welsh Counties. Thomas Seckford obtained from the Privy Council special facilities for Saxton "to be assisted in all places where he shall come for the view of such places to describe certain counties in cartes, being thereunto appointed by her Majestie's . bill under her signet." Special injunctions were sent in 1576 to all justices of peace, mayors, and others in Wales : ''to see him conducted unto any towre, castle, high place or hill, to view that country, and that he may be accompanied with ij or iij honest men, such as do best know the country, for the better accomplish- ment of that service and that his departure from any town or place that he hath taken the view of, the said towne do set forth a horseman that can speak both Welsh and Englishe to safe-conduct him to the market towne." Saxton surveyed the town of Manchester in 1596, but the date of his death is not known. Copies of the atlas are now very rare ; one sold at Christie's in 1901 realised 90. 1599. Somersetia.

MAPS or SOMERSETSHIRE. 5 in making maps of the counties of England and Wales. These, however, he compiled chiefly from the surveys of John Norden and Christopher Sax ton. Between 1605 and 1610 Speed published maps of the coun- ties of England and Wales many of which were issued before the plates were finished, as evidenced by the blank cartouches on many of them, while on others the engraver's name and date are wanting. These omissions were rectified in later issues. A Collection of these early impressions is in the British Museum. The first complete atlas published by Speed was The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine, 1611-12. fol. The first two books are dated 1611 ; books in, Scotland, and iv, Ireland, are dated 1612. This was issued as the chorographical part of Speed's History of Great Britain. Editions of the atlas were issued in 1611-12, 1614, 1627, 1650, 1657, 1676, and a reprint, with many corrections by Henry Overton, in 1713 and again in 1743. It was again reprinted by C. Dicey & Co. in 1777. A Latin translation, by Philemon Holland was issued in 1616, and also in 1646. 1612. Somerset Shere. 13 x 9|in. In POLY-OLBION. By MICHAELL DRAYTON. LONDON, PRINTED FOR M.

Between the border lines : " Septentrio," " Oriens," " Meridies," and " Occidens." The map occupies two pages of the atlas and is numbered on the back 119 and 120, with text in Latin. The register on page 119 is Nn. Jan Jansson, contemporary and rival of Jan Blaeu, was born at Arnheim c. 1596, and died at Amsterdam in 1664. He was admitted to the Printers' Guild in 1618. In his early days Jansson was associated with Henry Hon- dius, in the completion of the Mercator-Hondius atlas, many of the maps bearing his name. Jansson married the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, and on the death of his brother-in- law Henry, about 1657, acquired entire control of the busi- ness. The earliest publications of Jansson known to me are : " Novus Tabularum Geographicarum Belgicae Liber . . . per A. Goos. Amstelodami, excudebat Joannes Jansonius, Anno 1619." 4to., and a small metal globe 41 inches in diameter supported by the figure " Atlas," upon which is mounted a map of the world, bearing the imprint : " Am- stelodami excudebat Joannes Janssonius, 1620." In 1633 Jansson, together with Henry Hondius, issued the second volume of the Mercator-Hondius atlas with the fol- lowing title: " L' Appendice de 1' Atlas de G. Mercator et J. Hondius," and in 1642 the third volume appeared. In 1646 Vol. 4 was issued, containing a description of England in Latin, by William Camden, accompanied by maps of the Counties of England and Wales compiled from those of Saxton and Speed. These works completed Jansson's atlas in four volumes, dated 1646-47. Subsequently enlarged editions were issued in Dutch, French, German and Latin. A reprint of Jansson's map of 1646.

An unaltered impression of the map with French text on the back. Vol. 4 of the atlas, which is dated 1648, with an address to the Reader dated 1645, contains the maps of Great Britain. Sir H. G. Fordham, in his Hertfordshire Maps, refers to a copy in the Inner Temple Library. Willem Blaeu, surveyor, globe-maker, and publisher, was born at Alkmaar, in 1571, and died at Amsterdam 21st October, 1638. In 1599 he was employed in making globes. In 1628 he surveyed the entire coast between the Texel and the Meuse. Sometime prior to 1606 Blaeu established the famous printing and publishing business at Amsterdam, from which was issued the finest series of atlases ever produced, beginning with a maritime atlas in 1608, and culminating in 1667 with that splendid work the French edition of the Atlas Major, in 12 vols. The business was carried on under the name of Guiliel- mus Janssonius, with the result that he was confounded with his rival Johann Janssonius, another famous publisher in the same city. Among the early publications of Willem Blaeu was a pair of small globes, 5\ inches in diameter, issued in 1606. Then followed the maritime atlas : Het Licht der Zeevaert MAPS or SOMERSETSHIRE. 15 door Willem Jans Zoon. tot Amsterdam, 1608. 4to. This was re-issued with title and text in English in 1612. In 1630 appeared his first terrestrial atlay : Atlantis Appendix, sive pars altera, continens tab. geographicas diversarum Orbis regio- num nunc, primum editas. Amsterdam. Apud Guiljelmum Blaeuw, Anno 1630. fol. A second edition of this work was published in the following year under a new title : Theatri A. Ortelii et Atlantis G. Mercatoris . . . Amsterdam. Apud Guiljelmum Blaeuw, anno 1631. The copy of the first edition in the British Museum is believed to be unique. F. Muller and Co. of Amsterdam had, however, a similar copy, with some variations, which is also unique. Johann Blaeu, son of Willem Blaeu, was born at Amsterdam 23rd September, 1596, and died there 28th December, 1673. He studied law while continuing the business of his father. After travelling in Italy, he returned to Amsterdam, and on the death of his father in 1638 succeeded to his business. He soon made a great reputation, and is thought to have taken precedence of the rival establishment of Johann Janssonius. His first publication was the first and second volumes of his father's atlas : Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive Atlas Novus . . . Amstelodami. Apud Guilielmum Blaeu, 1638. fol. In conjunction with his brother Cornelius, whom he had taken into partnership in 1640, he brought out the third volume of the atlas, the remainder of the work being issued after the death of Cornelius in 1642. A French edition of the volumes already issued was published in 1 640-43 ; and a German edition in 1641-42. In 1648 Vol. 4, containing the Counties of England and Wales, was issued. Blaeu's most finished and complete work was : Atlas Major, Sive Cosmographia Blaviana, Qua Solum,Salum, Coelum, Accura- tissime Describuntur. It consists of eleven large folio volumes, each of which has its own distinctive title-page, in addition to the general title, and dated 1662 throughout. A French edition in 12 volumes was published in 1663 and re-issued in 1667, all the volumes being so dated. A Spanish edition was prepared and issued in 10 volumes in 1672. Vol. 11, containing America, was never published in this edition. The maps, or most of them, are those of the French edition of 1667, and still have the French text at the back, with the Spanish text pasted over it. This is accounted for by the fact of the plates having been destroyed in the fire which took place in Blaeu's 16 MAPS OF SOMERSETSHIRE. establishment February 22nd, 1672, at the time this edition was in preparation. The Spanish edition is now extremely rare. About 1647 Jan Blaeu published a pair of globes, each 24 inches in diameter. These are now very rare. There is a pair at Trinity House, London, and a copy in eighteen seg- ments to each globe in the British Museum. Under the heading " Globes " in the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, it says: "We learn that a pair of fine globes by Blaeu is preserved in the Bibliotheque de Bourges." Probably these are the same as those in Trinity House. Blaeu had an extensive foreign business, and in 1663 is known to have possessed an establishment in Vienna. On the night of February 22nd, 1672, his printing house at Amsterdam was destroyed by fire, and with it perished most of the plates belonging to his geographical works. Those plates which were saved passed into the hands of Frederick de Wit, who engraved his name upon them and issued them as his own. De Wit's business eventually came into the pos- session of Covens and Mortier, when the inscriptions on the plates were again altered accordingly. 1649. A reprint of Jansson's map of 1646.

For many years he lived at the Hermitage, Wapping, and also had a shop in Exchange Alley, Cornhill. His principal publications consisted of maritime atlases and charts. In 1671, he published the English Pilot, and in 1675, the Atlas Maritimus. The charts in these works were taken mainly from Dutch publications, and some were ac- tually printed from the original plates, with the Dutch title imperfectly erased, and an English title, with Seller's name, substituted. On March 16th, 1671, privilege was granted by the King, for the protection of Seller's atlases and charts, for thirty years. Another edition of the Playing Card map of 1676.

I have not seen a copy of this atlas, but there are, in the British Museum, separate maps of the English Counties with the imprint of Schenk and Valk. These appear to be earlier impressions than those in Atlas Anglois, 1724, and are, probably, from the above mentioned atlas of 1683. 1685. A reprint of Blome's map of 1671.

He issued a large number of maps mostly copies or reprints. On some of his maps he calls himself k ' Globe maker at the Atlas and Hercules in Cheapside."

Top left-hand corner, cartouche, supported by two columns, with the title. Below, the scale of 10 miles. The border is formed by a fine line with a double inner line marked off into degrees and minutes of latitude and longi- tude. In the top border minutes of time are shown by Roman numerals x, xn, xnn. The back is plain. Gibson, in his preface, states that : " The maps are all newly engrav'd, either according to Surveys never before publish'd, or according to such as have been made and printed since Saxton and Speed. Where actual Surveys could be had, they were purchas'd at any rate ; and for the rest, one of the best copies extant was sent to some of the most knowing Gen- tlemen in each County, with a request to supply the defects, rectifie the positions, and correct the false spellings. And that nothing might be wanting to render them as complete and accurate as might be, this whole business was committed to Mr. Robert Morden, a person of known abilities in these matters, who took care to revise them, to see the slips of the Engraver mended, and the corrections, return'd out of the several Counties, duly inserted. Upon the whole, we need not scruple to affirm, that they are by much the fairest and most correct of any that have yet appear 'd." Robert Morden, geographer, began business in London, as a map and globe maker, in 1668. In 1688 he was in part- nership with Thomas Cockerill, at the Atlas, in Cornhill. He published a considerable number of maps and geographical works, including Geography Rectified, 1688, Geography Anato- mized, or, a Complete Geographical Grammar, 1693, and The New Description and State of England, etc. Morden died in the parish of St. Christopher-le-Stock, London, 1703.

Within the plate mark, above the picture, is the title and dedication. Top right-hand corner : " After Page 49." Below the picture, distances from Bristol to the various towns in Somerset, and the imprint. Accompanying the view are four plates, numbered 49-52, containing descriptive and historical notes of Somersetshire. At the top of plate 49 are the arms of the cities of Bath and Wells, surmounted by an eagle. At top of plate 51 is a view in which are the arms of the City of Bristol. The colophone of this work is dated 1749. Probably the work was first issued at that time. The bird's eye views, however, are variously dated 1750-54. Therefore the work with the views could not have been published before the latter date. A reprint was issued in an edition of the same work with imprint : " Published . . . Decem r 2 d 1749, by G. Bickham jun r - in May's Building Covent Garden" etc. Whether this was issued before or after the above edition is difficult to determine. 1751. A reprint of Bowen's map of 1720.

Across the middle of the star is an oblong shaded panel bearing the title. Below, near the border, the scale. On the right, a note referring to distances. The border is formed by a thick and thin line with a. double inner line marked off into degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. Between the border lines, at the bottom : " Longitude West from London." Below the border, the imprint. The map is accompanied by a page of text ; both map and text are plain at the back. John Gary, an engraver and map and print-seller, com- menced business, in about 1783, at 188, Strand, at the corner of Arundel Street. He had, however, been engraving maps some few years before this. There is in the British Museum : " A Plan of the Navigable Canals made and now making in England. J. Gary sculp 1 London, Published . . . by T. Lowndes . . . May 29, 1779." In the volume containing this plan are other undated plans of canals bearing Gary's signature which may be of a still earlier date. "in 1791, Gary removed to 181, Strand, where he remained till January 17th, 1820, when his premises were destroyed by fire. An account of this event is given in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1820, p. 81 : ' ; A dreadful fire broke out this morning, at five o'clock in the house of Mr. Kerr ... at the corner of Norfolk-street in the Strand . . . The flames soon caught the dwelling of Mr. Gary, the chart-seller, and in a short time that building added to the melancholy grandeur of the spectacle . . . The flames in Mr. Gary's premises soon advanced to the adjoining house of his brother, Mr. Gary the optician. At half -past ten the fronts of these houses were precipitated into the Strand ... In the back of these buildings still greater mischief is sustained ... A rumour prevails that the accident is attributable to the gas." Al- though Gary's premises were apparently, entirely destroyed, he does not appear to have lost any of the plates of his maps. After the fire Gary removed to 86, Saint James's Street, where very soon afterwards George Gary appears on the scene for the first time, and the firm name of G. & J. Gary is introduced. The firm continued to publish at St. James's Street until at least 1844. Gary was succeeded by George Frederick Cruchley of 81, Fleet Street, who took over the cartographic department and stock-in-trade of the Carys. The whole of the plates of Gary's MAPS or SOMERSETSHIRE. 61 three atlases passed from Cruchley, in 1876, into the hands of Messrs. Gall & Inglis of Edinburgh who are still using them. It is uncertain when John Gary died, but Sir H. G. Ford- ham thinks that possibly he was alive as late as 1836. Gary's maps show a marked improvement on all previous productions, the engraving being beautifully clear and dis- tinct. Sir H. G. Fordham, in John Cary, Engraver, & Map- Seller . . . Cambridge . . . 1910, says : " It is not too much to say that Cary introduced a character and method of delineation which has dominated our cartographers from the end of the eighteenth century to the present time . . . Gary's map drawing is marked by a particular delicacy and clearness, and has always the brilliancy which can be de- veloped by the skilful hand upon copper-plate." The same authority also states in a footnote on page 24 of his Notes on British and Irish Itineraries and Road- Books, Hertford, 1912 : " I have since completed a bibliography of this geographical publisher [John Cary], whose out-put of maps and topographi- cal and other works was very considerable, including at least 500 separate maps, and whose work marks an epoch in the cartographical art as developed in England." In this short account of Cary mention must be made of Aaron Arrowsmith, afterwards a famous geographer, who came to London from his native place in the county of Dur- ham in the year 1770, and, according to the Dictionary of National Biography (Vol. n, p. 123), first found emploj'inent with John Cary, for whose county maps he made all the pedo- meter measurements and drawings. To him in some measure must be attributed the excellency of Gary's maps. In 1804 John Cary Avas awarded a gold medal by the Royal Society of Arts for the production of Joseph Singer's Survey of Cardiganshire. The first atlas published by Cary was : Gary's New and Correct English Atlas, 1787. This was followed by a beautiful little road atlas entitled : Gary's Traveller's Companion . . . London, 1790, the plates of which are dated Sep r - 1st, 1789. A second edition was issued with the title-page dated 1791, and the plates 1792 ; other editions followed down to 1828. The maps appeared in some of the later editions of Gary's New Itinerary. In 1798 Gary's New Itinerary was published, and ten sub- sequent editions appeared between 1798 and 1828. 62 MAPS OF SOMERSETSHIRE. Gary, in 1808, published the New Universal Atlas containing sixty maps in large folk*. It was first issued in twenty parts of three maps each ; the plates being dated from 1799 to 1807. A second edition appeared in 1811, and a third in 1819. The following year, 1809, Gary brought out the New English Atlas containing forty-six maps in imperial folio, some of which had been separately published as early as 1801. The work ran through several editions. Accompanying this atlas is : An Index containing the Cities, Market and Borough Towns, Parishes, and such other places as are chargeable with Poor Rates, throughout England and Wales ; shelving the Amount paid agreeably to Re- turns made to Parliament, for the Year ending Easter, 1803 ; also the Number of Houses in, and the Population of each Place, etc. Among the numerous maps issued by Gary may be mentioned A New and Accurate Topographical Survey of the Environs of London, 1783. -4 Survey of the Country fifteen miles round Lon- don, 1786.

A very fine map, coloured in hundreds, on about the same scale as Day & Masters' map of 1782. The one inch Ordnance Survey had already been published, and was probably of some assistance in the preparation of Greenwood's map. Shows towns, villages, parishes, hamlets, hundreds, churches, chapels, castles, priories, houses, parks, woods, plantations, heaths, commons, water mills, wind mills, coal pits, toll bars, canals, rivers, brooks, main & cross roads, and the three shire stones.

Bottom left-hand corner : " View of Wells Cathedral." Top right- hand corner, the dedication. Bottom right-hand corner, the " Explanation," and, on the left, the scale. Most of the main roads are carried just over the county boundary and their destinations given. The distances, from town to town, are indicated in miles along the main roads. The border is formed by a thick line between two fine ones, with an inner double line marked off into degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. Between these two sets of lines the space of f of an inch is hatched with double lines at the outer edge. The degrees are indicated by Roman numerals, and every five minutes, expressed by small figures. Between the border lines, at the bottom : " West longitude from Greenwich." C. and J. Greenwood, surveyors and publishers, projected a complete series of county maps on the scale of one inch to the mile. The survey began in 1815 with Yorkshire and MAPS or SOMERSETSHIRE. 91 continued till 1834. An advertisement of these maps, dated 1824, shows that fifteen counties (Berks, Cheshire, Cumber- land, Durham, Kent, Lancashire, Middlesex, Somerset, Staf- ford, Surrey, Warwick, Westmoreland, Wilts, Worcester and York) had already been issued. It is stated that the work " Has now been proceeded in with unremitting application during a period of nearly Ten Years," and " They trust they can with propriety assert, that within the further period of about Six Years they will be enabled to accomplish the highest object of their ambition, in the completion of the first uniform Series of Maps of the English and Welch [sic] Counties ever made from actual survey." The whole of this set (with the exception of the maps of Bucks, Cambs, Hereford, Herts, Norfolk, and Oxfordshire, which were never published), with South East Wales, and a very fine map of London, make a series of thirty-four splendid maps, completed about 1830. In 1829 the Greenwoods began the publication of a series of small maps, including the Welsh Counties, compiled from the original surveys. They were issued as an atlas in 1834 with the title : " Atlas of the Counties of England from Actual Surveys made from the years 1817 to 1833 by C. & J. Green- wood . . . Published April 1st. 1834." fol. A. Bryant, contemporary and rival of the Greenwoods surveyed, and published maps of the counties of Bedford, 1826 ; Bucks, 1825 ; Chester, 1831 ; Gloucester, 1824 ; Here- ford, 1835 ; Hertford, 1822 ; Lincoln, 1828 ; Norfolk, 1826 ; Northampton, 1827 ; Oxford, 1824 ; Suffolk, 1826 ; Surrey, 1823, and East Riding of Yorkshire, 1829. In the case of the counties of Bucks, Hereford, Hertford, Norfolk and Oxford, Bryant filled the gaps left by Greenwood, but Cambridgeshire does not appear to have been issued by either of them. Apparently Greenwood and Bryant were surveying some of the counties at the same time, which seems somewhat remarkable, especially when it is remembered that many of the counties had already been surveyed by the Board of Ordnance. Bryant published his maps from his private residence, 27, Great Ormond Street, London. Nothing is known of him except what can be gathered from his publications. Somerset Sh.
