The maps reproduced in this issue are
taken from Thornton’s New, Complete, and Universal History,
Description, and Survey of … London (1784) and the Plan de la
Ville de Paris, Période Révolutionnaire, 1790-1794.
The Plan, prepared in 1887 at
the direction of the Municipal Council of
Paris, shows the city as it appeared during the Revolution. The Plan
and Thornton’s map of London (1784) are reproduced here in detail for
greater legibility and convenience of reference.
