First published in 1790, the Traveller's Companion was republished about 15 times up to 1828, so often that new plates had to be cut for the 1806 and 1822 re-prints. Further examples are available here.

Displayed scale of 10 miles = 18.5mm, or 13.7 miles/inch; actual scale 13.2 miles/inch, or 1:840,000.

When Cruchley bought Cary's plates in the the middle of the century, they were re-issued as Cruchley's Railroad Companion to England and Wales.
