Thomas Moule (1784-1851) was a noted historian, mapseller and publisher. His finest work is the ‘English Counties Delineated’ first published collectively in 1836. It began life as a monthly number the first of which was issued in May 1830. It was continued until the last which is believed to have been in February 1835. Our information is sketchy because the most complete set known in the British Library is incomplete. The Monthly Number was the subject of a Map Collector article by Tony Campbell in 1985 (Issue 31). The publisher was George Virtue who used the same beautiful plates in his publication of Rev. James Barclay’s ‘Dictionary’. The maps are considered the most attractive of all later English county maps. This comes with several pages of descriptive text.
