The noted publisher Pierre Van der Aa dedicated this work on Great Britain to Queen Anne. In the ensuing years he published similar works of Italy, Spain and Portugal, Rome and Switzerland. Of the author James Beeverall nothing is known beyond this work. The text is drawn from the earlier works of Camden, Speed and Chamberlayne. First published in 1707 this second edition is greatly expanded and updated. Despite many images being derived from earlier published works they are by no means slavish copies. Many bear additional decoration of features. A beautiful English topographical work with numerous double page town views and country seats. Adams (1967) 20; Brunet (1860-80) 1735; Lowndes (1864) 146; Upcott (1968) p. xxiv.
