| Description Of Item | From the collection of Richard Poole. He gives the progress of his work for Thomson. He can obtain tracings from a fair copy of the map of Scotland surveyed by General Roy; he warns that there has been a ban on obtaining the maps of the Board of Ordnance from the trigonometrical survey by Mudge and Colby; he reassures that the Ordnance Survey will not replace atlases due to the time taken to produce the maps which he calculates at 58 years to finish England; and he has finished Turkey and asks whether it is for the classical atlas as it can be a modern or ancient map. |
