This is part of Vol. I. of Malone's "Supplement to the Edition of Shakespeare's Plays published in 1778 by Samuel Johnson and George Steevens." I do not know where Butler got it; he wanted Malone's comments on the Sonnets and he may have bought this second-hand or it may have been given to him. It was probably in a bad state, for he had it bound; there is an entry to that effect in his account book, 30th March, 1899.

VI. ATLASES AND MAPS FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF SAMUEL BUTLER
Some of the maps are marked with red lines showing, in the words of another illustrious Johnian, "fields invested with purpureal gleams."
These red lines, specially noticeable in Butler's ordnance maps of the neighbourhood within thirty miles round London, denote his country walks, and are referred to in his Introduction to _Alps and Sanctuaries_.
BUTLER, SAMUEL, D.D. An Atlas of Modern Geography for the use of Young Persons and Junior Classes in Schools. Selected from Dr. Butler's "Modern Atlas," by the Author's son, the Rev. T. Butler, Rector of Langar. London, 1870. _Also_ an edition inscribed, "Samuel Butler, October 20th, 1850"; and an edition of Dr. Butler's "Atlas of Antient Geography."
Environs of London, North side (eastern half missing).
Environs of London, South side--Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Maidstone.
There is something wrong; one piece is much dirtier than the other; the two do not belong to one another. The dirty one is inscribed, almost illegibly, thus: "S. Butler, 15, Clifford's Inn, Fleet Street, London, E.G. Please return to the above address. The finder, if poor, will be rewarded; if rich, thanked." May be he did lose one half, and it was not returned, and he bought another.
