The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK) was founded in 1826 with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching, or who preferred self-education. Their publications were intended for the working class and the middle class, as an antidote to the more radical output of the pauper presses.

Condition: Very Good condition, commensurate with age. This map is in incredible shape for being more than 170 years old. Light edge-wear and coloration as can be seen in the photographs, but this will read as vintage character when framed.
