|
FA1998.22:-
|
Descriptive text, 25 pages, from a road book, Itinerarium Angliae, or Book of
the Roads, probably by John Ogilby, describing all the roads mapped in England
and Wales, about 1670s.
|
|
Each plate has a text describing the road, a table of distances, descriptions of
turning to take and not to take, etc.
|
|
It is not clear whether this Ogilby's text, or another publisher's words, it is
more likely the latter.
