[Morden, Robert]. A Brief Description of England and Wales; containing A particular Account of each County... as also, the Distance of each Market Town from London, by the latest Survey... Embellished with Maps of each County. Very useful for Travellers and others, and very proper for Schools, to give Youth an Idea of Geography, and the Nature of his own Country, and each County, printed for H. Turpin, c.1780, fifty-two playing card maps (without suitmarks), mounted as issued, Leicestershire with upper corner of mount torn away (not affecting map), Radnorshire with small stain, also affecting the final two text leaves which follow, final leaf with blank fore-margin a little frayed and neatly repaired with archive tape, title within typographical border, modern brown calf by Peter Morgan, 1979, "original design reproduced`, according to ms. note on blank at rear, raised bands, covers blind panelled, together with one board of orig. sheep binding, 12mo (114 x 81 mm) Chubb CIX; Skelton, p.157. Rare. Robert Morden`s playing cards were first published in 1676. Nothing is known of how Homan Turpin came by the plates, some hundred years later, but somehow they came into his possession and he re-issued them in the present form, with the cards, minus their suitmarks, bound opposite descriptive text. The date of issue is speculative, but seems unlikely to be 1750 as stated by some sources. It is known that Turpin was a bookseller, mainly of secondhand books, from at least 1764 to 1787. None of the six known Turpin catalogues list the volume, so it is likely to have been issued late in his career. (1)Explanation page not present. This is not uncommon.
