Title: The old series Ordnance Survey maps of England and Wales; volume VI (6), Wales.
Description: Lympne Castle: Harry Margary, 1992. First edition (hardback), volume 6, covering Wales. 4to, lviii, 107pp. Text illustrations. Original blue cloth, dustwrapper. The book itself is in excellent condition - the dustwrapper is very good (lightly rubbed). Volume 6 in Harry Margary's complete reproduction of early printings of the 110 sheets of the old series; this volume was the last to be published, and covers sheets 28, 36-42, 56-60, 74-79 (originally published between 1818 and 1841). These sheets cover the whole of Wales (with the exception of the detached part of Flintshire and a small part of Denbighshire). The series was originally plotted in 10 volumes, but a decision was taken half-way through publication to reduce the number to 8 by combining the two Welsh volumes (into this volume) and the two Northern volumes (into what became volume 8).
