1816. Dix, Thomas. 17-& X 14. Scale, about 3 miles = 
1 inch. 
A clearly-engraved map of Herts, following Smith’s large map in 
style, details, and colouring. It gives prominence to the main 
roads, showing their directions where they leave the county, and 
the miles between towns and from London. In the left-hand top 
corner is a view of Waltham Cross, with, below it: “ Waltham 
Cross, Hertfordshire.” To the right of this view, near the top of 
the map, is a “ Reference to the Hundreds,” in two columns— 
Braughin (sic), and Edwinstree (in one word). In the right-hand 
top corner an “Explanation,” with the various signs and characters 
used on the map, and in the left-hand bottom corner a finely- 
engraved star-indicator of the points of the compass. The centre, 
at the bottom of the map, has a “ Scale ” of nine miles, and in the 
right-hand bottom corner the title, set in a circle, runs : ■ “ A Hew 
Map of the County of Hertford Divided into Hundreds, By 
Mr Tho s Dix.” The margin contains the degrees and minutes of 
latitude and longitude, and, below, in the centre, the imprint is as 
follows: “London. Published August 1st, 1816, by William 
Darton Jun 1 ’. 58 Holborn Hill.” 
The only copy of this map with the name of Dix upon it, and 
dated at foot, is in the collection of Mr. Greg. It folds in a 
case, which is labelled: “Herts. By Tho s . Dix, Surveyor, North 
Walsham,” and: “London; William Darton, Holborn Hill.” 
A similar map of Cambridgeshire, of the same date, and with the 
name of Dix on it, is in the Cambridge University Library. 
(For the reprints of this map, see under date 1840 (?) and 
1852 (c), post.)
