Comments on map:
Faces title-page of The Liverpool Guide..., Liverpool: Crane & Jones, and London: Vernor & Hood, 1796. Pretty basic, even compared with Exeter 19457. Has scale-bar, but it is not graduated, and it is unclear what the units might be. This seems pretty definitely a map of minor interest.
