H. G. FORDHAM-HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
A practically unaltered reprint of Smith’s map of 1801 and 1 804, 
bearing the latter date, with the addition below of: “2nd Edition 
Corrected to 1808.”

to 1808,” London, imperial folio. 
1809. Hackman, Thomas. 16£ x 13f. Scale, about 
2£ miles = 1 inch. 
An outline map of the county, showing its boundaries and those 
of the hundreds and parishes. No towns or other particulars are 
given, but in a few parishes notes relating to the market day and 
population are inserted, e.g., Royston—“ M: D: Wedn: 356 Inh: ” ; 
Ware—“ M: D: Tu: 2950 Inh:”. Curiously enough, Hertford 
itself is not mentioned. The border of the map is slightly 
ornamented. At the top, above the margin, in two iines^ is : 
“ Hartfordshire belongs to the Diocese of London and Province of 
Canterbury, is bounded on the North by Bedfordshire, and Cam¬ 
bridgeshire, on the East by Essex, on the West by Buckingham¬ 
shire, and on the South by Middlesex Extends in length 36 miles 
In breadth 28 miles and is 130 miles in circumference. The 
principal Town is Hartford. It contains 8 Hundreds, 18 Market 
Towns, 135 Parishes, 54 Vicarages, 16.500 Houses, and 97.577 
Inhabitants. Sends 6 Members to Parliament, viz 1 : for the County 
and Towns of Hertford and S fc . Albans 2 each.” 
In the left-hand top corner, in a large, plain oval, is the title: 
“ Hartfordshire, divided into Hundreds and Parishes,” and, in the 
right-hand bottom corner, a star-indicator of the points of the 
compass, the north inclined slightly to the right of the vertical. 
Below it is a “Scale of (7) Miles.” Below the border, in the 
centre: “March the 10th; 1809. Published and Sold by Tho s : 
Hackman Land Surveyor, Watford, Herts.” The only copy I have 
seen of this map is one in the British Museum Library.

including a general map of England, one of Wales, and Yorkshire

size as the atlas, but without date. It may have been published 
earlier, as some of the particulars it contains are given as up to 
“Easter, 1803.”
