About the author

Edward S. Mogg is generally identified with Edward Mogg, a London publisher active in the first half of the 19th century. Reliable sources describe him as a publisher of maps and travel guides, and his work is closely associated with the growth of road and rail travel in Britain.

His best-known publications include Mogg's Handbook for Railway Travellers and Survey of the High Roads of England and Wales. The surviving record suggests he specialized in practical reference works that helped readers navigate London and other parts of England and Wales.
