Comments on map:
F.p. [1] in The original Bath guide..., Bath: Savage, Meyler, 1811. 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. Note on title page verso that 'Interleaved Copies of this Guide arr kept at each of the Publishers' Libraries, in which any Corrections or Additions necessary to be made in a future Edition will be inserted and duly attended to.'
