H. Gr. FORDHAM—HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
(This work was, it seems, more than once re-issued, with 
hut very trifling additions on the maps. I have several odd 
volumes undated, but printed on paper bearing the water-mark 
1822 ; a volume for Devon in the British Museum has on the title 
“Third Edition,” and another for Cheshire in the same collection 
is described as “A new Edition,” and has a frontispiece dated 1830. 
A “superior edition” was issued with the cities and hundreds 
coloured. All that can be said with any certainty as to this 
publication is that it was commenced not earlier than 1801, and 
was continued by reprints up to as late as 1830.) 
* 1806. Camden, William. 19f x I5f. Scale, about 
2 miles = 1 inch. Engraved by John Cary. 
A reprint of the map of Herts in the first edition of Gough’s 
‘Camden’ (1789), with the addition, below the title, of “Published 
by John Stockdale Piccadilly 26th March 1805,” and, on the 
map itself, of the Grand Junction Canal (the Act for which was 
obtained in 1793); and by these alterations the map can be 
distinguished from the earlier impression. The longitude east and 
west from St. Paul’s, London, is retained. 
Erom the ‘ Britannia ,’ published by Gough & Kichols in four 
volumes, London, 1806, fol. The map and description of Hertford¬ 
shire are in the second volume. 
* 1807. Laurie, Robert, and James Whittle. 
8-g- X 7L. Scale, 5 miles = 1 inch. Engraved by B. Baker. 
A map of Herts, engraved from the plate used for the map 
published in the ‘ Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure ’ 
in 1792, but with many additions. On the map itself the number 
of places shown and their names are nearly doubled, a few of the 
roads are engraved, letters [a, b , c, etc.) are inserted where the 
principal roads leave the county boundary, and the Grand Junction 
Canal is added. A star-indicator of the cardinal points is engraved 
as a background to the panel bearing the title, and below the map 
is added: “Published, October 13th 1806, by Laurie & Whittle, 
Ho. 53 Eleet Street London.” 
Erom ‘ Laurie & Whittle’s Hew and Improved English Atlas,

engraved “Explanation Plate.” 
1808. Britton, John, and Edward Wedlake 
Brayley. 9L x 6£. Scale, 5L miles = 1 inch. Engraved by 
J. Boper [1805]. 
A map of Hertfordshire, in a ruled border, with the degrees and 
minutes of latitude and longitude marked, meridian of Greenwich. 
It shows the boundaries of the hundreds and county, the principal 
and a good many cross roads, with indications of their directions 
where the former leave the county, the distances from London of 
the principal places, and the distances between those places (the 
latter distinguished by Human figures). The Homan roads and
