Additional Details

In 1830 the plates for all 10 of these maps found their way to Uriah Hunt who used them to print 10 of the 41 maps in his Cabinet Atlas (Rumsey 2833) published that year in Philadelphia. Possibly that is why the second edition of Armroyd's Connected View, also published in 1830 (Rumsey 3067), does not have those 10 maps but contains just one larger map by H.S. Tanner as a replacement. Two years later those 10 maps appear in C. S. Williams' New General Atlas published in 1832 in New Haven. Someplace along the way 8 of those maps were updated and revised through the addition of new roads and towns - they appear in those revised states in Willams' 1832 atlas. Rumsey 4214; Howes A317.
