probably 1813. |

Published as a 'Second Edition with Considerable Improvements &
Additions by G. Herbert, Geographer', 'London, Published by J. Wallis
1814'. |

One '... Improvement ...' on the 2nd edition is the addition of a meridian,
labelled 'Meridian of London', at 0 degrees. As this is really the 2 degree West
meridian the label is a bad mistake. |
