What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, Folding Maps, Leather Binding

The 1822 sixteenth edition of 'Paterson's Roads', the work of Edward Mogg, a publisher and cartographer known for his maps and travel guides to London and other localities in England, Scotland and Wales. 

In a full calf binding, with the contemporary owner's name 'Rev. S. Dashwood' in gilt to the front board.

With 'an entirely new set of maps', this edition features a folding colour map frontispiece, and eight further folding maps. Collated, complete.

Mogg's publications were so widely used in the nineteenth century that they appeared in works of fiction including Robert Smith Surtees' 'Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour', and Shirley Brooks' 'The Naggletons'.

Condition

Wide yapp edge covers fore edge of text block, with contemporary owner's name in gilt to front board. Discolouration to rear board tail and back strip tail. Internally, firmly bound.
