A fascinating account of the roads of Britain in the 1820's, in a smart full calf binding and illustrated with a number of folding maps. The 1822 sixteenth edition of 'Paterson's Roads', the work of Edward Mogg, a publisher and cartographer known for his maps and travel guides to London and other localities in England, Scotland and Wales.

Dashwood' in gilt to the front board.With 'an entirely new set of maps', this edition features a folding colour map frontispiece, and eight further folding maps. Collated, complete. Mogg's publications were so widely used in the nineteenth century that they appeared in works of fiction including Robert Smith Surtees' 'Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour', and Shirley Brooks' 'The Naggletons'. Rebacked, in a full calf binding, with original boards restored, endpapers renewed and back strip laid down. Wide yapp edge covers fore edge of text block, with contemporary owner's name in gilt to front board. Discolouration to rear board tail and back strip tail. Internally, firmly bound.
