Dear All,
Please note that Pigot's and Slater's Topography of the
British Isles is now available on CD ROM from me at
Staffordshire University.
This costs 20 pounds and includes the Topographies of
England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland dating from the
1830s and 1840s.
This is in three hypertext books richly illustrated with
photographs, maps and drawings.
If interested please email me for further details.
