through nearly the same streets as those now in use. It is
curious, too, to note in how few instances the names have been
changed. The original is almost the oldest map of London
that is known, and it must have been at that time a great spe-
calation and enterprise for Ralph Agas, its maker. Regarding
this man, Mr. W. H. Overall, Librarian to the Corporation, has
written, as a preface to this publication, such a biography as
the materials at command enabled him to prepare. He has
also entered upon a critical comparison of this map with others
of various dates, with a view to show that this is a trustworthy
picture of London at the time it was published. This cleverly

xecuted reproduction has more than a mere antiquarian interest. It shows us what was the condition, in many interesting particulars, of the metropolis at one of the most renowned periods of its history, and it affords to all citizens the means of making investigations and researches that will be both profitable and entertaining. We heartily welcome such a useful work."
