The City of SALISBURY wth. the Adjacent CLOSE, CHURCH and RIVER Accurately Surveyed By William Naish. / ...
Sarum. Printed & Sold by Benjn. Collins, Printer, on the New Canal.Above is a coat of arms of the city.
William Naish is believed to be brother of Thomas who surveyed the river map (see below). He had been a surgeon's mate in the Royal Navy and later opened a apothecary's shop in Salisbury. He was also Assistant Surveyor of the Fabric of Salisbury Cathedral.
Benjamin Collins was a nationally known 18th century publisher who published first editions of William Goldsmith and other well known writers. He was the brother of William Collins, who re-started the Salisbury Journal in 1729. Both brothers were associated with it from that date and when William died in 1740 Benjamin took it over, invigorated it, and it became one of the great regional newspapers. Benjamin severed his connection with the Journal in 1775 and died in 1785.

Chart of the Channel between the Isle of Wight and the Coast of HampshireThe Depot-generale de la Marine is presumably the french equivalent of our Hydrographic Office.
The chart was surveyed in 1781, others in the series in the Map Collection are 1783 and 1786. At that time the Admiralty would have been distressed to find detailed english charts of the coast of England facing France being published by the French; relationships with France were not good. One of the other sheets is published by the Hydrographic Office of the Admiralty, 1808. The french publications were later, 1823-24; things were better.
The map maker's name is given in the title cartouche:-

MAP OF the COUNTY of SOUTHAMPTON from an Actual Survey Made in the Years 1825 & 1826. BY C. & J. GREENWOOD, AND N. L. KENTISH. Most Respectfully Dedicated TO THE Nobility, Clergy & Gentry OF HAMPSHIRE, BY THE PROPRIETORS GREENWOOD, PRINGLE & Co. Regent St. Pall Mall London. PUBLISHED JUNE 15th. 1826.The Ordnance Survey one maps, Old Series, were published before this map, and were available to the Greenwoods. I have not done a thorough comparison but do get a feeling that this map has copied from the OS map to some extent, it owes its basic shape to the accurate surveying of the official body. But the Greenwoods have done their own work; have been more careful with some details, place names and content. The overall appearance of the Greenwood maps is more attractive, and perhaps more readable, than the OS maps. The OS were not, as they are not, at the zenith of cartographic perfection. But do remember that convincing presentation is no guarantee of accurate content.
Nathaniel Lipscomb Kentish was an independent surveyor, based in Winchester, Hampshire, who set out to map the whole county at about 5 inches to 1 mile; very ambitious for a lone operator at that time. His project failed in 1824 but he did make 'an arrangement' with the Greenwoods in which he was involved in their survey; some editions of their map (this is, but not all others) mention Mr Kentish in the title credits. Further information about Kentish can be found under his own map of 1823.

W, Hugheswho probably drew the maps, probably engraved the main plate and might have been involved in the lithograph plates. The map appears to have been printed in black on white from a copper plate engraving, the detail is fine. It has been coloured in areas by lithographic printing: the county is allover tan brown with roads shown reversed out in white; adjacent counties are diagonally shaded a light tab, the sea is horizontally shaded blue, parks are green. Errors in registration of the printings can be spotted easily. But also notice that the planning of the engraved and lithograph plates might not always agree; road edges are engraved line and can be seen to be different from the reversed out areas of the litho plate. The map is described as illuminated - meaning coloured? - on the title page of the book.
