Title page from Internet Archives (copy at NYPL).

Each section includes notes on maps known or thought to have been included, with illustrations where available.

Each section includes a link to an online copy of the work (these are mostly without maps) and a list of institutions holding the work.


Photographs have often been taken from websites offering these directories for sale. I apologise that not all are high quality. These will be replaced as soon as I acquire better images.
