Excerpt from Introduction to the Original Delineations, Topographical, Historical, and Descriptive, Intituled the Beauties of England and Wales

Preface to Mr. Hatcher's edition of Richard of Cirencester, Lond. 1809.

The propriety of such an assertion will be readily admitted, when it is observed, that this map was engraved after a drawing by the Rev. Thomas Mann, of Bath, whose deep researches into British antiquities are evinced in papers contributed to several county histories, and other works. The map here presented contains all the improvements in the geography of ancient Britain, suggested by Richard of Cirencester.
