| Description | Letters from John Garnett, bookseller, stationer etc, and agent for the sale of Ordnance Maps', some with printed headed notepaper, with his address as 'Post Office, Windermere'.
Letter all concern the 'new edition of the guide', and discuss Ordnance Maps and other maps; printing additional editions; scales; excursions by Maria; publications of books; routes; landmarks; copyright; checking of scales; surveys; expenses; discusses other travel guide books; layout of pages in the new edition; alternative guide by Murray; illustrations.
Although the name of the guide is not mentioned in these letters, it is thought these letters may relate to revisions, enlargements and enhancements carried out by Maria Martineau of Harriet Martineau's book 'Guide to the English Lakes', first published 1855 by John Garnett. A third edition copy is held in the department in our rare book collection, classmark: r DA670.L1. See also HMM/H/2. |
