Full Title
(Covers to) A Physical and Geological Map of England and Wales By G.B. Greenough Esq. F.R.S. (on the basis of the original Map of William Smith 1815) Revised and Improved under the Superintendence of a Committee of the Geological Society of London, from the maps of the Geological Survey of Great Britain, 1836-63 and the Maps and Documents contributed by Sir R. I. Murchison, Professor Phillips, Joseph Prestwich, R. Godwin Austen, and others. July 1865.

Note
Greenough first published this map in 1820, then a second edition in 1839 (see our 10496.000), and this final third posthumous edition in 1865. Greenough drew heavily on William Smith's Geological map of England and Wales but did not credit him until the third edition. There are several differences between the Greenough and Smith maps: Greenough delineates the topography and Smith does not, and Greenough's scale is 6 miles to the inch vs Smith at 5 miles to the inch. There were also differences underlying the geology of both maps. Greenough made significant revisions to the second edition and to this final third edition. Following the publication of the first 1820 edition, there was a continuing dispute between Greenough and Smith as to Greenough's uncredited use of Smith's map.

The N.E. sheet is from a different copy as is the Index of Colours which was both pasted on the map in some copies and issued separately in others - both are present here. Although it appears that the index of colors that is pasted onto the W. Sheet of this copy is an early version of the index of colors that appears on the 1865 third edition. It does not actually represent the colors used on the map so may have been added afterwards, incorrectly. The separate sheet Index of Colours is the correct index for colors in this second edition.
