Description
1690 ENGLAND Cities Index Villaris Register of Towns Wales Topography Britain
John Adams, not to be confused with the American founding father, was a 17th-century English lawyer who is best known for his topographical studies of England. In 1677, he produced a map of England and Wales that many considered to be quite lacking. To satisfy those that were left off the map, Adams published an enormous Index that categorized and registered each city, town, village, and county in England and Wales.
“Index Villaris” was first published in 1680 and was edited and republished in 1690 with numerous additions. This 1690 edition is beautifully bound – an impressive 17th-century piece of English topography.
