Title continues: "Containing, I. The Geographical Description of the County in Alphabetical Order. 2. The Ecclesiastical History. 3. The Civil History. 4. The Natural History. 5. The Literary History. 6. The Antiquities. 7. A Map of the County. 8. A Table of the Names of all the Towns and Villages, &c. with the Value of the Livings, the Patrons, Incumbents, and Gentlemens Seats: Also a Scheme of all the Market-Towns, &c. their Distance from London, and from one another, &c." This book appears to be one section of "Magna Britannia et Hibernia, antiqua & nova. Or, a new survey of Great Britain" of which one of the authors was Thomas Cox and Robert Morden was cartographer. Some of the individual counties were re-issued separately with a new title page in 1730, retaining the original pagination. Each county chapter had a folding engraved map by Morden and an engraved table of distances at rear, in this case on the verso of the final text-page. Here T. Cox is named as bookseller on the title page but a Thomas Cox is known to have been one of the authors of "Magna Britannia," along with Anthony Hall and John Sturt.
