About this Item

First edition (hardback), volume 8 (Northern England). 4to, lxxii. 125 pages of maps. Original blue cloth, dustwrapper. Minor foxing to the leading edge of the text block, else the book is in very good condition; the dustwrapper is near-VG (some foxing). High-quality reproductions of sheets 91-110 of the old series of the ordnance survey, covering England north of the Preston-Hull line, plus the Isle of Man. The editors used the earliest copies of the maps they could get their hands on; in this volume the maps were published between 1847 and 1874. Volume 8 is the rarest volume in the series; it has been rumoured that much of the stock was destroyed in a warehouse fire, and it certainly went out of print extremely quickly. ISBN 0903541459.
