Below this is pasted an old label inscribed 'Part of Dury and Andrews's Survey of Kent 1769. The only specimen I have seen in this form. F.W. Cook. 1918'. A large area of this map is the Thames estuary, but this is dotted with sand banks and ships. The town of Sheerness is on the right at the bottom of this sheet with the mouth of the Medway separating the Isle of Sheppy and the The Isle of Grean [sic], and most of the Hundred of Hoo.

Folio. Engraved title and dedication, (forming sheets 25 and 21), index map of the county and 23 copper engraved maps. Each sheet approx. 19 x 28 ins. A facsimile of the rare atlas of the county of Kent providing an affordable example of this great map (the original is well into four figures). Andrews and Dury published their famous atlas some thirty years before the Ordnance Survey and they immediately became the best large scale maps of the county - it is thought Edward Hasted based his maps of the Hundreds of Kent on Andrews and Dury's work. The fine engraved hatching at once distinguishes these sheets from other maps of the period and the use of the large scale enables one to see individual houses and particularly the country seats, many of which are identified with their owners' names.
