With apologies for cross-posting.  I believe Keith is particularly
interested in the Andrews and Dury (and Herbert) maps of Kent.

Dear Ken

Here is the query I mentioned. If you can feed this out to your mailing
list I should be grateful.

In 1769 or thereabouts, Andrews & Dury produced maps of a number of
English counties. I am interested in the surveying techniques used for
these maps, a list of the symbols used to denote the features they
contain and whether there is any modern analysis.

I was hoping to get this information from the Andrews & Dury map book
held by my county archives.  Unfortunately the book doesn't give this
information having no explanatory preface or introduction other than it
was produced following an act of parliament. The archivists were unable
to provide any information either.

If anyone can help me obtain this information it would be
appreciated.

Many thanks for taking the trouble.

Yours sincerely

Keith Griffiths
