GAGE'S TRIGONOMETEICA PLAN
OF THE
THIS TOWN AND PORT OF LIVERPOOL,
SPECIALLY PATRONIZE BY
THE KING'S EXCELL NT. MAJESTY,
AND DEDICATED, BY I'ER. ISSION, TO
The Worshipful the MAYOR and ALMON COUNCIL.
liur A. GAGE, LAND SURVEYOR, egs leave to express his
.I.Y.L• grateful acknowledgments to e numerous Subscriber.
of the above-named work, and toinform them that the PLAN
Will he ready for delivery at his Office, No. 17, SLATER•STREET,
on FatnAY next, the Bth of April instant.
The very high encomiums which have been passed upon this
undertaking by the roust competent authorities tender it tin,
necessary, on the part of the Pwiprietor, to enter into a detail
of-the sneritsor pretensioaeolialve work; he,aberrefue.rnost ray
spectruily submits the following testimonials to the judgmeat
of a discerning Public.
" Mr. Gage's Survey, especially the full one, thirty-eight
inches to a mile, is the finest thing I ever saw."—Lard
Brougham.
A Naw PLAN oe Ltveurooo.—One of the meat valuable
additions to the topography of Liverpool is now announced fur
publication by Mr. Gage. It is a Plan of the Town, executed
in the most exquisite style of art, which, for accuracy and
minuteness of detail, unquestionably surpasses anything that haa
hitherto been published. The work has occupied the undi-
vided attention of the Surveyor and his assistants for several
years • and it will surprise the inhabitant to find a plan of his.
own dwelling, both front and back, laid down with a faithful.
lieu which must be inspected to be duly appreciated and be,
lieved. We congratulate. the town on the accomplishment of
this triumph of indestry and art, and we earnestly entreat for
Mr, rage, the warm patronage pf an ,enlightened community,
who not only know how to value a great public labour, but have
the power of rewarding the endeavours of the talented artist
who. has peeeroplistied.Alie_ilerculeau task. We understand
that Mr. Gage's plan was inspected by Lord Brougham - during
his visit, and that his Lordship expressed great astonishment
and delightat the exceeding accuracy and completeness of the
woik.—Liverprad Cons ier.
NEW AND SPLENDID MAP OF LIVERPOOL—We have had
the satisfaction to inspect the original Plan of Liverpool, upon
which Mr. Gage has been engaged, almost.uMnterruptedly, for_.
the last seven years. So gigantic was the task deemed by some.
scientific surveyors of great. experience, that they pronounced
its completion tObe.impossible.; and it really does aeopearto be •
a work of superhuman lationr. The Plan, as it is about to be
published, is five feetfive inches by three feet three inches, and
in neatness and distinctness.* surpasses anything of the. kind
we'have everseon. The chief merit of this admirable Plan,
however, is its unparallelled accuracy, as every house, gardeti,
and nulhnuse.iu.the toffnis cotrectly,laid . down. M.r.ii'age is
a man who is not content,svith doing all that the public have a
right to expect at his fiends; .he .evidently works con emote,
and we do hope that he wilf Ise, amply repaid for his almost in-
credible e set tions to produce a graphic work,. which has no
equal in. this, or, perhaps, any other country. He has gone
scientifically to work, and has, in the course of his astronomical
and trigonnmetrical experiments, detected a most important
error in the latitude of the town, which' has hitherto been
erroneously laid.down. It only remains to say of Mr. Gage,
that (like many other mend superior talent) be
.has been
,al-
most self-teuglit ; and that,,in our opinion, the residence of.
such a man amongst us is an honour to the town. His Map
will, no doubt, find its wiry into every Newsroom in this king-
dom. and in. the ilJnited States of America; and every Mer-
chant in Liverpool ought to have it in his counting-house.-
- Liver-raid Mercury.
GAGR'S TRIGONOMETIIICAL PLAN OF LIVERPOOL.—After a
labour of, about eight yeas s' duration, Mr. ,Gage has completed
his Map of the Town and Port of Liverpool; which is now ready
for pubricatiou. The acute angles, curves, and other irreyulor,
courses ,o( the streets, the exact position of every public build-
ing, hcuse, warehimse, garden and wall is accurately described,
and the length of each street, taken from actual adtneasura-
molt, is given in yards, This will be found very-useful-in cal-
culating distances, in order to ascertain the propar charges for
carriage, coech fares, &c, The Map includes the whole line of
Docks, extending to a considerable distance beyond the
Clarence Dock, down the North 'Shore. and lakes within its
range the environs of Kirkdale, Everton, Edge-hill, .
and Toxteth-park. Within this range there are lines describing
the Municipal and Parliamentary boundaries of the borough.
The scale of the plan is nineteen and a half inches to the mile ;
its size 5 feet sby 3 feet 3 inches • .and the survey has been
completed to the Ist of 'August, 1835. As a. topographical work,
whether we regard the laborious minuteness and accuracy of its
details or its engravings as a beautifel specimen of that art, we
can only speak.of it in terms of unqualifiedpraise, and as richly
deservin_g of the patronage,of the Public.—Liverpool Standard.
THE TRIGONOMETRICAL PLAN oI THE TOWN AND PORT OF
LLYERPOoL, advertised in another column, to he published from
an actual survey, by Mr. Gage, presents several new-teavires,
and promises to be of much greater utility thin any former
Plan or Map. The Surveyor has, by ninny yea's' labour,,ac-
tually taken the dimensions of every house, warehouse. ot:ts-
buildieg, garden, court, Ste.; with every divisiou, eel!, or fenye;
the churches, chapels, docks, and public buildings, as well as-
the length of each street, in yards, for the porrose of calm•
lating cartages, &c., each Of which will be laid down upon ,att •
accurately reduced scale: Accordingly, the Map will represent

PLAN OP LiveneooL.
_The new Plan of Liverpool, on
which. Mr. Gage has
been occupied a number of years, will
shortly be ready for publication. The Plan, as our readers
will observe, is on such alt extensive scale as to exhibit every
house, warehouse, and . building in the town so distinctly, that.
each inhabitant can easily refer to his own dwelling,ape-
, eimen of the.work which we have seen is most beautifully-and
accurately
executed, and we trust that the number of sub-
!
scribers will be sufficiently large to remunerate Mr. Gage for
the great labour and expense which he has incurredin pro-
ducing so desirable a Plan of the Town.—Lirerpoo/
Mu_ GAGE'S TRIGONOMETRICAL PLAN OF LIVERPOOL.--
. W,e cordially.recommend this invaluable Plan of the Town and
Port 'to the attention and patronage of the public. It will be,.
the most complete work -of the sort ever published: alike cre-
' Bitable to the town, useful for reference, and honourable to Mr.
GOO; It is so complete that every house. warehouse, garde%
,court,, wall, division, fence. &c: will be exhibited upon artllo...
measurement. This Map will :have an extecsiye sale, and at
deserves it.— I.ireirOOl Joursial.
