H. G. FORD II AM—HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
189 
advertisements at the end of the ‘New Pocket Road-Book’ of 1825 
is: “‘The New Picture of England and Wales,’ with Eifty-five 
Maps of the Counties. Price l£. bound.” 
Copies of the Road-Book are found in the British Museum, dated 
1825, 1831 (third edition), 1837 (sixth edition), and 1839 (seventh 
edition), and there may have been several issues of the set of maps 
to match the various editions of the Road-Book. The only one 
I have seen, however, is a copy in my library, dated 1842 (see 
post, p. 208). 
* 1820. Phelps, J. 1 Og- X 7. Scale, about 5^ miles — 
1 inch. 
An unaltered reprint of the map of Herts which bears date 1812, 
and appears to have been first published in ‘ Wallis’s New British 
Atlas’ (1813 c) and afterwards in ‘Ellis’s New and Correct Atlas 
of England and Wales ’ (1819). The only impression of the map 
as dated above which I have examined is one in the Herts County 
Museum. It has the imprint at foot: “ Printed and Published by 
J. Phelps, No 27 Paternoster Row, London. 1820.” 
* 1820 (c). Nightingale, Joseph. 9§- x 6|-. Scale, 
5^ miles = 1 inch. Engraved by J. Roper [1805]. 
A further reprint of the map from the ‘ Beauties of England and 
Wales,’ unaltered except for the omission of all the imprints 
at foot. 
Erora another copy of the ‘ English Topography ’ of the Rev. 
Joseph Nightingale, with the maps and text interleaved in one 
volume. It contains the original preface dated 1816, but has no 
date on the title-page, and is published by James Goodwin & 
Thomas McLean. The above date is problematic, but this issue 
was, no doubt, not earlier than 1818. It may, of course, have been 
much later. 
* 1821. Smith, Charles. 20-/ 6 - x 171. Scale, 2 miles = 
t|- inch. Engraved by Jones & Smith, Pentonville. 
Another impression of Smith’s map of Herts of 1801, 1804, and 
later dates, identical in details with the re-issue of 1818, except 
for the addition of the following roads extending beyond the 
boundary of the county :—The Icknield Way continued from near 
Hexton, through Dunstable, to the neighbourhood of Tring, with 
the villages of Ivinghoe and Leagrove inserted upon it; the 
Bedford Road continued north from Luton as far as Barton; 
from Edgware, which is inserted in the south of the map, roads 
shown to Rickmansworth, Watford, and Elstree, and with: 
“ Corrected to 1821,” under the title, in lieu of the date and the 
words “3rd Edition. Corrected to 1818,” which appear on the 
map of that issue. The imprint under the star-indicator is omitted 
in this and later impressions of the map. 
Erom ‘ Smith’s New English Atlas,’ with the title apparently 
unaltered from that of the atlas of 1804, “ Printed for C. Smith, 
Mapseller extraordinary to His Majesty. No 172 Strand 1821.”
