112 H. G. FORDHAM HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 



district round Royston being shown up to the outer line. It is 

 also broken, partially, on the west side at Saffron Walden, and 

 to the south of that town. All modern railways, with stations, 

 are shown by black lines and dots, the latter not being always 

 correctly placed (e.g. Ashwell, which is shown about a mile to 

 the west of its actual position). A broken line is also drawn on 

 the map through Enfield to Hertford, to indicate a projected 

 railway. In the left-hand top comer, the title is : " Bacon's 

 Map of Hertfordshire. By B. R. Davies, from the Ordnance 

 Survey ", and, below : " The County of Hertfordshire consists of 

 391,141 Acres, and returns 4 Members to Pai-Hament ; viz. 3 for 

 the County and 1 for the Borough of Hertford." Again below, 

 an explanation of the signs used for the boimdary of the county, 

 the railways and stations, the canals, and the roads. In the 

 right - hand bottom corner is a scale of (6) " English Miles, 

 691 = 1 Degree." Below the map, in the centre: "London, 

 G. W. Bacon & C. 127, Strand." This is probably an impression 

 from a plate engraved much earlier than the date given above, 

 but I have not been able to identify any such issue.

A map full of details extending to the margin, and showing 

 the railways (with stations), main roads (with the miles marked 

 on them), cross-roads, rivers and canals, with the towns, villages, 

 hamlets, houses, parks, hills (shaded, and with the height above 

 the sea-level given in a few cases), and woods. The details are, 

 substantially, those given in the 1-inch Ordnance Survey map, 

 but the names of places differ in some instances. The boundary 

 of the county itself is indicated by a thick, black line. The 

 map is set in a plain, wide, double-lined border, with the degrees 

 and minutes of latitude and longitude marked on it. This is 

 frequently broken along the top and bottom (only) by indications 

 of the directions of the main roads. Outside the margin, at the 

 top of the map, in the right-hand corner, is a " Scale of (14) 

 English Miles ", and, at the bottom corner on the same side : 

 " Simson AC"., Printers and Bookbinders, Hertford."
