Dear Listers,
I recently acquired the six-volume set of "Tallis's Topographical
Dictionary of England and Wales", published in 1860. I am gradually
compiling and uploading onto my website a complete transcription of the
Wales sections of this priceless reference work, including detailed maps
of each of the thirteen Welsh counties, based on surveys undertaken
circa 1850.
Rather than wait until the entire transcription is finished, I've
decided to make this new feature available now, in its incomplete form.
All the maps are on-line, but to date, only the A and B sections of the
alphabetical gazetteer have been uploaded. The rest of the gazetteer
will be uploaded in stages over the next 12 months or so, as the
transcription of each set of entries is completed.
You can access this new feature on my website at
http://home.clara.net/wfha/wales/tallis/
I would be interested to receive feedback from you about the content and
the presentation of the Tallis feature.
I have circulated this notice to all the mailing lists to which I am
subscribed, which means that unfortunately some of you will receive
multiple copies of my message.
Kind regards,
John
