Description
English: A map of British-occupied Ireland c. 1736 with bishoprics, cities, market towns, English estates, barracks, and fortifications, post and cross roads, ferries, bogs, and major sand bars along the Eastern shore marked. A chart on the bottom right lists the "troops" and companies of British soldiers stationed at various locations. Inset maps show the British Isles in Europe and detail maps of Dublin, Cork, Kinsale, Limrick, Waterford, Galway, the island of St. Patrick's Purgatory, and the area around the Giant's Causeway.

Sold separately or bound together with Moll's The World Described... as p. 19.

The Church was anciently called Regles.

It runs from the Bottom of a high Hill a great way into the Sea, consists of above a Hundred Thousand Stone Pillars, all smooth, but very unequall in Height and Breadth; some of them being ten, others twenty and some six and thirty Foot high.
