A map of Hertfordshire apparently founded on the Ordnance 
Survey, and giving all the usual details, which do not extend, 
however, except here and there, beyond the borders of the county. 
It is a very well-tilled map, and very well engraved, * and is 
drawn on the meridian of Greenwich. The names of the principal 
roads are engraved on the map, as well as indications of their 
directions where they leave the county, e.g., “Birmingham Boad”, 
“The Glasgow B d ”, “The Carlisle and Glasgow B d by Doncaster ”, 
“The Great Horth Boad to Edinburg”. The distances in miles 
are marked on the roads. The title is engraved in the left-hand 
top corner, in a large, plain, oval, raised plaque, shaded on the 
edge : “A Hew Map of Hertfordshire, Divided into Hundreds, 
Exhibiting Its Boads, Bivers, Parks Etc. By John Cary Engraver

north, and, below, a shaded band with scale of miles. Below the 
margin of the map : “ London, Published by J. Cary, Engraver and 
Mapseller Ho 181 Strand Sep 1 '. 28. 1801.” 
Erom a series of county maps published in parts, of which the 
second contained Herts, Hottingham, and Cheshire, all dated 
September 28th, 1801. This ‘Complete Set of County Maps’ is 
first advertised in the second edition of ‘ Cary’s Hew Itinerary,’ 
published in 1802. A large number of the maps are dated 1801, 
but a few are later (1805, 1806, 1807, 1808, and 1809), and a map 
of England published with the set is dated June 1st, 1809. These 
maps were collected in an atlas in the last-mentioned year, and 
published under the title of ‘ Cary’s Hew English Atlas,’ London, 
1809, large folio.
