Comments on map:

Undated: Guildhall treats as 1820, Darlington & Howgego [DH253] as c.1810: evidently this copy is no earlier than 1814-15 (see Green Park). It is less well executed than the larger 1:15,840 [Exeter 23258]. It looks like a 'carbon copy' of the 1802 Phillips map [Exeter 23259]: scale is graduated for 1:18,103, but comparative measurement shows that, like the Phillips map, it is 1:15,840*.
