Pub Note: The SDUK, as the Society was known, produced
inexpensive maps to encourage broad use in education. The maps
in these two volumes were issued in parts over several years.
The city plans are of particular interest, with vignettes and
great detail. The gnomonic star maps were issued separately in
this edition in their own covers. This is the second edition,
the first being by Baldwin and Cradock, with the maps issued in
numbers and later bound as a set. Rumsey Collection copy
originally issued without the 6 "World on a gnomonic projection"
maps; copies of them have been laid in. Atlas is bound in half
leather dark brown cloth covered boards with "Maps. Vol. 1,"
"Maps. Vol. 2" stamped in gold on the spines. Maps with outline
color; geological map of England and Wales hand colored in full
color.
