details about inns, stage lengths, cross roads, packet boat routes, and porterage rates, as well as the inclusion of a newly updated map of England and Wales. This level of detail would have been valuable for travelers and mail coaches, and it demonstrates the practical application of the itinerary for both official and public use in early 19th-century Britain.

Spine with gilt rule bands creating compartments, gilt author/title to brown leather in second compartment, gilt year at foot. Deckled edges, marbled endpapers.

From Wiki: John Cary (c. 1754 – 1835) was an English cartographer. Cary served his apprenticeship as an engraver in London, before setting up his own business in the Strand in 1783. He soon gained a reputation for his maps and globes, his atlas, The New and Correct English Atlas published in 1787, becoming a standard reference work in England. In 1794 Cary was commissioned by the Postmaster General to survey England's roads. This resulted in Cary's New Itinerary (1798), a map of all the major roads in England and Wales. He also produced Ordnance Survey maps prior to 1805. In his later life he collaborated on geological maps with the geologist William Smith. His business was eventually taken over by G. F. Cruchley (1822–1880).
