Description
A collection of 33 plates comprising plans of towns in Great Britain and Ireland, most of which are copies of the insets to Speed's maps in the "Theatre". A decorated frontispiece (there is no proper title-page) bearing neither date nor place of publication has the words 'auec priuil du Roy', which seems to show the book is of French origin.
An additional view of London has been inserted.
Additional description
On the frontispiece in contemporary (?) hand is the inscription Plans et profils des villes d'Angleterre &c.
