It shows all the usual details, rather coarsely engraved, and the 

 railways, with a few hills slightly indicated in the north of 

 the county. The railways and main roads are carried beyond 

 the county boundary up to the border of the map. The G-reat

 Acts have been olitaiued. The title, in the left-hand top corner, 

 in a band : " Hertfordshire ", has above it a scroll containing 

 the words : " The British Grazetteer." Below it : "3 For the 

 County 3 | 2 For each. Two Boroughs 4 | Total niunber of

There is a copy of this map in Mr. Andrews' collection in 

 which the words "The British Gazetteer" are wanting in the 

 title. Another, and later, copy, in the Lewis Evans collection, 

 has a plain ruled border, the "Explanation" re-written, additions 

 to the railways, and some other trifling amendments. I have 

 not been able to give it a date.
