100 T Laurie Murray 1830

The only atlas to appear under T L Murray’s name was the Atlas of the English Counties ... Exhibiting the whole of the Inland Navigat’n Rail Roads, &c. Projected on the basis of the Trigonometrical Survey By Order of the Honble. The Board of Ordnance. Under the Superintendance of T L Murray, issued in 1830 (folio, 44 maps). Murray was a publisher and surveyor who used the maps of the Ordnance Survey on which to base his own. The large maps are without any decoration at all and are similar in many ways to Cary’s larger maps. The hundreds are shown and distances from London for the larger towns.

The atlas was reissued in 1831 and 1832 and these issues are readily identified as the date in the imprint was changed each time, although the NDL have a loose 1831 variation.

Size 355 x 455 mm.                                                                                                                                               SCALE (15 = 63 mm) miles.
