Archibald Fullarton & Company was one of the leading publishers working in Scotland in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. One part of the company's prolific output was a number of atlases, & books containing maps. Fullarton's popular gazetteer of England & Wales, Fullarton's Parliamentary Gazetteer Of England & Wales, illustrated with a series of finely engraved maps of the counties, is notable for the clarity of presentation, despite the small size. The atlas records the changes made in the Great Reform Bill, which set out the basis of Britain's modern parliamentary constituencies. The gazetteer went through numbers of editions, with the maps revised & up-dated. Some of the maps were engraved for Fullarton by Robert Scott, who incorporated an attractive vignette views inside the map border.
