 2^ miles = 1 inch. Engraved by John Gary. 



A further reprint of Gary's map of Herts, as issued by 

 Gruchley, with the following alterations : — The title now reads : 

 " Gruchley's County Map of Hertford Showing all the Railways 

 and names of Stations, also the Turnpike Roads, Villages, 

 Gentlemen's Seats Etc. Etc. Improved from the Ordnance 

 Surveys : London : Published by Gall & Inglis, 25, Paternoster 

 Square. Ediubiu-gh : Bernard Terrace "; the " Explanation " 

 below the title is omitted, and it is re-engraved in the right- 

 hand bottom corner, with a scale of miles below it also re- 

 engraved somewhat to the right of the place of the original 

 scale, and without the original shaded panel. The star-indicator 

 found in the right-hand bottom corner in Gary's impressions 

 from this plate and in those of Gruchley up to 1855 (?) is 

 wanting. The detached portion of Herts lying within the 

 county of Bucks still remains, as on the original plate. All 

 the modern railways are inserted, with the stations, and various 

 slight alterations are made in the names of places, by re- writing 

 and omissions where the old names interfere with the railway 

 lines. The map is sin-rounded, outside the border, by large- 

 type advertisements.
