This map is one of his firsts, dated to 1757, it is titled 'Exact Survey of the City and Suburbs of Dublin'. This side shoes a detail of 'Leeson's Walk', a steet that ran by the side of St. Stephen's Green. It is now known simply as 'Stephen's Green'.In later maps he wrote a guide offering advice and information on the local people of Dublin.
