Comments on map:
F.p. viii in The historic & local new Bath guide..., Bath: Browne, London: Hurst, etc, n.d. [BL note 1801]. Exeter 22512 and 22513 are very similar to each other, and 22513 is presumably a plagarism of 22512. 22512 has 'Plan' in title cartouche in italic capitals with beading effect; 22513 has it lower-case in gothic.
