We would like to locate a complete copy either to purchase, or failing that, from which to obtain a reproduction. The British Library has the earlier version, published in 1800, but will not loan or reproduce it. It would also be interesting to know if anyone has that version. The 1817 map is not mentioned by Mario Witt in his volume on the maps and charts produced by the Steels. I have asked about this map previously, but thought that it would be worthwhile to ask again, since none of the major collections appear to have it. Thanks for any help that you can provide on this search. Complete citation and additional information will be sent upon request.
