The Game was played by taking tricks by playing a county adjoining the card on the deck, with the map of England and Wales having a different coloured back, to act as an aid. The game was published in two editions, but the maps appeared later in 1823 in J. Thomson's 'New English Atlas' and finally in 1827 in Orlando Hodgson's 'The Pocket Tourist & English Atlas, being a New and Complete Set of County Maps'. The Hodgeson Atlas is the most familiar, but it was not until 1985 that the map and playing card dealer Yasha Beresiner discovered the playing card format and recognised the connection.

A New Military Map of Portugal..., Drawn by Captn. Eliot, Rl. Artillery, 1810, engraved map with contemporary outline colouring, sectionalised and laid on linen, some dust soiling and staining, 630 x 395 mm, contained in a contemporary card slipcase with a printed label to the upper cover, worn at extremitiesQTY: (4)NOTE:The first described item is a large and detailed folding map, published during the Peninsular War. Probably because of the war, Nantiat is most exercised with the borders between Spain and Portugal, especially the passes through which it was expected that Napoleon's army might come when the campaign season started in the spring. It is probable that Faden saw an opportunity to sell this detailed and large-scale map to officers in Wellington's army in Portugal, with the idea that it could be used as a reference for the campaign. In July of 1810 - six months after the publication of the map - the French military commander, Marshal Masséna led an army of 65,000 troops into Portugal, pushing on towards Lisbon, but was held back by the Lines of Torres Vedras a set of earthworks that had been built on the orders of Wellington. The campaign - significant for the emergence of large-scale guerrilla warfare - was eventually won by the British under the command of Lt. Gen. Sir Arthur Wellesley, later the 1st Duke of Wellington. It could be argued that the French defeat was sealed when Napoleon set out with a massive army on what proved to be the disastrous French invasion of Russia. This seriously depleted the French forces with the result that a combined allied army under Wellesley pushed into Spain, defeating the French at Salamanca and taking Madrid. In the following year, Wellington scored a decisive victory over King Joseph Bonaparte's army in the Battle of Vitoria. Pursued by the armies of Britain, Spain and Portugal, Marshal Jean-de-Dieu Soult, no longer able to get sufficient support from a depleted France, led the exhausted and demoralized French forces in a fighting withdrawal across the Pyrenees during the winter of 1813/1814. France, Napoleon and its European dominance would finally fall the following year at the battle of Waterloo.

Spain & Portugal. Ptolemy (Claudius), Secunda Europe Tabula, Rome [1478 - 1509], engraved map on a trapezoidal projection with contemporary wash colouring, on two conjoined sheets, faded and worn with several small areas of loss, particularly on the central fold, crudely repaired, slight staining, 350 x 520 mmQTY: (1)NOTE:One of the earliest printed maps of Spain and Portugal, preceded only by the Bologna edition of Ptolemy. It first appeared in the 1478 Rome edition of Ptolemy's 'Claudii Ptholomei Alexandrini. Cosmographia...,' created under the direction of Conrad Swenheym (who apprenticed with Guttenberg), and published after Swenheym's death (1477), by Arnold Buckinck.Rodney Shirley: "The new copper plates engraved at Rome for the 1478 edition of Ptolemy's 'Geography' are much superior in clarity and craftsmanship to those of the Bologna edition. There is evidence that work on the Rome edition had been started in 1473 or 1474, and several of the plates may well have been engraved before those printed [by Taddeo Crivelli] at Bologna in 1477. The printing was carried out by two skilled printers of German origin: Conrad Sweynheym and his successor Arnold Buckinck; the publisher was Domitius Calderinus. Many consider the Rome plates to be the finest Ptolemaic plates produced until Gerard Mercator engraved his classical world atlas of 1578."

His acquaintances included John Stuart Mill, George Henry Lewes, Francis Newman and Harriet Martineau. Ellen (Eveline) Lallah Holyoake (1841-1919) was his second daughter who married Edward Praill.Holyoake was one of the first parliamentary candidates to give a prominent position to the woman question in his manifesto. He urged women like Harriet Martineau to start a woman-movement, even suggesting the title of a paper (Women's Journal) that was adopted later. A nice association item between Mill and Holyake for one of the most important treatments of women's rights in the nineteenth century.
