Described in Chubb, Printed Maps in the Atlases of Great Britain and Ireland: A Bibliography, 1579-1870, entry XX, p. 22: "The maps are again reprinted. The plates, generally, show signs of considerable wear, and some, notably Bedford, Flint and Northumberland, have been retouched. The arrangement is the same as in the earlier editions. The maps are distinguishable by plate numbers, except Brecknock, Buckingham, Chester, Denbigh, Flint, Huntingdon, Ireland, Merioneth, Pembroke, Radnor, Shropshire, Scotland, Yorkshire, East and North Riding, which bear no number."
