A. New Series of Map*, of the several Comities
in England 111111 Wales, is now in proljess, under
the ►uperintendence and direction of Mr. GlthEN.
WOOD. Thr great value of these Maps is, that
every part is marked nod defined front actual sur-
vey, taken for this vertical:or work. '1 wo t f tile
Maps are now completed, and in a style which re-
flects credit upon Hogfish enterprise anal att. The
11aps just finished are those of ynrkelnre (the
largest Cottony in En►;land), awl of Lineations..
The *blest Surveyors are now employed iu making

make the Maps which are to follow northy 01. the ex-
tenoive patronage already bestowed upon tins great
undertaking. The Map of Middlesex will, we sna..
derstaiod, next appear, and in tai►, as indeed in the
otherCousitirs, so far as the Plans atonally executed
enable us to judge, the survey has toles' so com-
plete, that even the boundaries and proonineot divi-
sions of the Metropolis, which have been so re-
peatedly the object of particular delineation, will in
the new Map he marked out with a preention and
fidelity that will make it the most complete, indeed
the only one which can be said to convey • just
idea of the preoeut extent and locality of this great
City, embracing all its recent 'additions mod im-
provements. The Maps of Cheshire, Keen, Not-
tinghamshire, Derbyshire, Wiltshire, and Durham,
will successively follow, and ore eXprgirsi to be
completed in the present year. This great work
has been nearly five years in -progress; and as ■
private undertaking, it is conducted on the most
liberal scale, the Maps being only paid for on delivery.
The expellee attendant upon such a work insist he
very considerable, and when we reflect that this is
the only country in Europe in which such work*
are undertaken by private individual', it i• iml►ns-
sible not to urge their claim to general patronage
and attention. Perhapst•'iu • stational point of
view, in the whsle range of Art, these use no
works whirl► afford .a greater field for the display of
strong► end original talent. and at the tame lane for
the diffusion of important and valuable informstion,
connected with the best interest* of society at large.
The Maps of Yorkshire and Lancashire, now finish-
ed, and which are worthy the attention of every
lover of Sr:wooer and Art, have been seen at the Sur-
veyor's residence its Leicester-Noire, and warmly
admired by the most distinguished scientific cha-
racters of the country.
