New edition in which John Chandler has retained everything in the itinerary of historical or topographical interest, but has turned the text into modern English and rearranged it by historic county. There are introductions to Leland's accounts of each county, and an important reassessment of Leland's life and work. The descriptions are complemented by the county maps of the Tudor cartographer Christopher Saxton.
