FAIRY VILLA,

Amidst Superb Plantations, Romantic Scenery and Rich Perennial Crops. to be SOLD, the beautiful ESTATE of GOLDEN GROVE, (see Bullock's Map of the Isle of Man,) lying at a convenient distance from Douglas, and containing, by survey, 162 acres, ;

The House is modern and commodious, with all suitable Offices and Out-Offces, surrounded with very extensive Gardens and Pleasure Grounds, forming altogether, for a Family of Taste in easy Circumstances, a Gentlemanly Residence of no ordinary attraction.

The young Woods are the largest in the Island, covering an extent of about forty acres, and promise in a few years to return the principal Money with compound Interest. Viewing this, therefore, merely as an investment of Capital and setting aside the local beauties and extraordinary perennial Crops and Land otherwise employed, the Purchase offers no every-day advantages More Land will be added if wanted, and Part of the Purchase Money may remain secured upon the Premises.

Apply J. Wade, Esq. of Druidale, or by Letter, (post paid) to Messrs Whiteley & Mason, Solicitors, Liverpool

After this the map appears to have been acquired by George Jefferson and used in several of his publications with the title slightly altered + other additions/corrections to plate over the period - Jefferson acquired a new larger map from 1840 which was used in many guidebooks from that year.

State ii - Title altered to A Correct Map of the Isle of Mann, Published May 1822.

Scale bar and compass altered, names of Point of Ayre and Calf altered to allow a smaller enclosing frame, a few corrections to names eg Mary Voar rather than Mary Far -
Imprint "T Breckell sculp.” outside frame bottom left (Mutlow's imprint ?erased as not visible on my copy - Tooley has no information on Breckell, the name would appear to be mostly found in Lancashire though the spelling Breckell is relatively rare (a Thomas Breckell was christened at St Pauls, Liverpool 1802).
