 is situated between the parallels of 51 37', and 52' 5' 

 North Latitude. Iu greatest length may be reckoned 

 at 25 mile*, and its breadth from north to south at 35 

 miles. According to Hal ley , it contains 45 1 ,000 acres ;

 chalky ridge, which extends across the kingdom in this 

 direction. A range of high ground stretches out from 

 the neighbourhood of Kings Langley, towards Berk- 

 hampstead and Tring. Another elevated ridge com- 

 mence* at St Albans, and proceeds in a northern di- 

 rection toward* Market Street. A number of stream* 

 take their rise from tin* aide of the county.
