“MR. DRAKE, of New-street, has just published in a neat pocket case,
two well-engraved and coloured Maps of the London and Birmingham and
Grand Junction Railways. Each Map describes not only the course of
the line and a section of its gradients, but the geographical
position of various places for many miles on either side. There are
also annexed complete tables of fares and distances, the rules to be
observed by travellers, the modes of conveyance to and from the
hotels and inns to the stations on the line, with the regulations for
luggage, merchandise, &c. These maps and accompanying tables
comprise much information in a small compass, which the railway
traveller will have frequent opportunities, on his journey, of making
a practical use of, and turning to good account.”—_Midland Counties’
Herald_.

JAMES DRAKE,
_LAW BOOKSELLER_, _STATIONER_, _AND BINDER_,
Takes this opportunity of presenting his grateful acknowledgments to the
Profession for their liberal support of his Establishment, and at the
same time he begs to assure them, that every article sold by him will be
found of superior quality and at reasonable prices, and will, he hopes,
induce a continuance of their esteemed favours.
