SURREY.
London. Published Nov^r. 1^st.. 1831, by B.Nichols & Son, 25 Parliament Str^t.

Miniature map engraved by James Cox (fl.1815-1841) from a drawing by John Walker for Benjamin Crosby (1768-1815), the compiler of Crosby's Complete Pocket Gazetteer of England and Wales... 1815.  
The John Walker above is probably the John Walker (fl.1813-1873) who was in partnership with his brother Charles (1799?-1872).
The maps later appeared in A compendium of the Ancient and Present state of…(various circuits) 1831-1835, The Family Topographer: being a compendious account of the antient and present state of the counties of England...By Samuel Tymms. John Bowyer Nichols and Son. 1831-1837, and Camden's Britannia Epitomized..1842.
This example, with the publisher's imprint B. Nichols and Son, is from one of the three later publications.
This example does not include a scale bar.  A scale bar was included in Crosby's Gazetteer but not in The Compendium, Britannia Epitomized, and the first issue of Family Topographer. A scale bar was added for most counties in the second issue of the Family Topographer.
An uncommon map in very good hand colour.
