In 1833-34 James Bell published ‘A New and Comprehensive Gazetteer’ in parts. Much of its source material was from Lewis’ ‘Topographical Dictionary of England’. In 1839 Lewis managed to obtain an injunction against Bell. The maps engraved for the work were acquired by Archibald Fullarton & Co. who utilised them in the ‘Parliamentary Gazetteer’ with new text, it was also issued in parts. For this issue, there were two differences. Firstly, the previous general map is replaced with one by J. & C. Walker. Secondly the North and South Wales single sheet maps are replaced by four folding sheets. The Fullarton maps each contain a decorative vignette and many bear the addition of newly constructed railways. The maps are filed alphabetically except for Hampshire which is filed under its alternative name Southampton. Provenance: with bookplate of John Hales pasted inside each volume; private English collection. Beresiner (1983) p. 102; Carroll (1996) 99; Chubb (1927) 510.
