Christopher Greenwood carried out the final stages of the large scale survey for this map in 1824-6. Original surveys of London were very rare. Most London maps were derived directly or indirectly from other people's surveys. In the previous eighty years there had been only two: John Roque's of 1746, & Richard Horwood's of 1792-99. Original scale: 8 to 1 mile. An index of over 8, 500 streets & locations is included with this CD ROM version, with a commentary by Ralph Hyde
- former Keeper of Prints & Maps at the Guildhall Library in the City of London. The map coverage

Includes:: the City of London, Westminster & Southwark.PC & Mac Version.

In one of the most brilliant & intrepid memoirs in recent memory, Emma Larkin tells of the year she spent travelling through Burma, using as a compass the life & work of George Orwell, whom many of Burma`s underground teahouse intellectuals call simply ”the prophet”. In stirring, insightful prose, she provides a powerful reckoning with one of the world`s least free countries.
