Carington Bowles (1724-93) published a series of “Bowles’s New Pocket …” maps. Issued separately as the title alludes they were later included in ‘Bowles’s Universal Atlas’ first published in 1780. Daniel Paterson (1738-1825) was commissioned in the Army in 1765 and served in the Quartermaster General’s department until 1812. He was Assistant Quartermaster General for the last eight years of his service. He then became Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec. The first edition of Paterson’s Roads appeared in 1771 and went through 14 editions by 1808 by which time it had been eclipsed by John Cary’s ‘New Itinerary’. It is Peterson’s new data which is included in the map. With a fine ornate title cartouche upper right depicting a pair of travellers on England’s roads. Carroll (1996) pp. 393-8; refer Shirley ‘Atlases in the British Library’ T.Bowl 2a no. 7; Tooley (1999-2004); Worms & Baynton-Williams (2011).
