IoM - composite image from sheets 46 + 51

A complete map of England and Wales published by John Cary between 1820 and 1830. In 1832 the sixty-five sheets were reissued by G. and J. Cary in a volume entitled:
"Cary's improved map of England and Wales, with a considerable portion of Scotland, planned upon a scale of two statute miles to one inch, drawn from the most authentic surveys & parliamentary documents."
Like those of Cary's county maps, the plates passed first to G.F. Cruchley; by the 1860s they were in the hands of Gall and Inglis. IoM is covered by plate 46 & 51.

Plates in the 1832 edition have the imprint
PUBLISHED BY G. AND J. CARY, 86 ST JAMES'S STREET,FEBRUARY 1st.1832 (Ce OS).
When reissued by Cruchley in 1856-7 this was altered to LONDON. PUBLlSHED BY G. F. CRUCHLEY MAP-SELLER & GLOBE MAKER, 81 FLEET STREET.

Based strongly on Smythe 1826 but with some additional maritime information from probably Mackenzie - the two plates were engraved seperately and overlap by about 1mile on the map; the names do not perfectly align across the border - I have merged across the 5 mile square line running from Ballacosnahan in Kk Patrick to Clay Head on east coast. Somewhat clearer than Smythe and as on two smaller sheets, more convenient to use.
