-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ANDREWS & DURY MAPS OF KENT (1769) Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2003 11:00:18 +0000 From: Ken Atherton <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask],LIS-MAPS <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ With apologies for cross-posting. I believe Keith is particularly interested in the Andrews and Dury (and Herbert) maps of Kent. ------- Forwarded message follows ------- 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.
