Note:
|
This is Arrowsmith's largest scale map of India, with the exception of his Atlas of South India map sheets. The detail is extensive. In a Note under the title Arrowsmith says "For the great additions and improvements in this republication of the Map of India I have to express my grateful thanks for the great assistance I have received." (He then lists a number of people and companies that provided data to him). The earlier version of the Map of India published in 1804 was smaller in size - see our 6916.000.
