H. G. FORDHAM— HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 109 



An impression of the map of Herts issued in ' Crucliley's 

 Railroad Companion ' (1862 ?), from the plate now in the 

 possession of Messrs. G-all & Inglis, shows additions of various 

 railways as compared with the map in the above work — additions 

 which briuo- the map into line with the larger map in Crucliley's 

 ' County Atlas ' of 1875. 



It may, therefore, be assumed that there was a reprint of the 

 'Railroad Companion' about 1875.
