II. G. FORDUAM-HERTFORDSHIRE MADS. 
From ‘ A Topographical Dictionary of the United Kingdom.’ 
London, 1829, 8vo. This issue is described on the title-page as 
a “ New Edition.” 
1829 (c). Teesdale, Henry & Co. 16-& x 13-A- 
Scale, about 8 miles = 1 inch. 
A very well-engraved and clear map of the county in a ruled 
border, broken at two points on the east side, and with the 
meridians marked. It shows the hundreds, and the main roads, 
with miles between the principal towns and those of the towns 
from London, in figures, as well as indications of their directions 
where they leave the county ; also most of the cross roads, the 
rivers, canals, towns, villages, hamlets, and parks, and the sites of 
churches. Woods are also represented by groups of trees, and 
hills are slightly shaded. In the left-hand top corner, in orna¬ 
mental capitals: “Hertfordshire.” To the right of this title, 
a star-indicator of the points of the compass ; in the left-hand 
bottom corner, a scale of 8 miles, and in the right-hand bottom 
Corner a “Deference to the Hundreds,” and an “Explanation.” 
Below the map, iu the centre: “London, Published by Henry 
Teesdale & Co. 802, Holborn.” Some of the details of this map 
are altogether out of date, e.g. “ Odsey Course ” 
Erom the ‘ New British Atlas,’ London, no date, 4to. A copy 
in the British Museum is described on the title-page as “ The 
whole carefully revised and corrected to the year 1829.” There 
are water-marks on the paper of various maps in this copy, of 1828 
and 1829. It seems as if there may have been an earlier issue of 
this atlas, but I have not been able to obtain any trace of one. 
A new road replacing and shortening the main road between 
Chipping Barnet and South Mimms, fully engraved on the map 
when reprinted 1840 (c), is only indicated here by a thin coloured 
line put in roughly by hand. There is no sign of a branch canal 
from Bickmansworth to St. Albans which appears on another copy 
in the collection of Mr. Greg. 
* 1830 (c). Cooke, George Alexander. 4f x 4|. 
Scale, 10 miles = 1 inch. 
A map of Herts, reprinted from the plate of 1806 (c), as 
subsequently slightly altered, probably appeared about this date in 
an edition of ‘The Modern British Traveller,’ but I have not seen 
a copy. That the whole series of County Histories making up this 
work was reprinted about this time is supported by a volume for 
Devonshire in the British Museum, described on the title-page as 
the ‘Third Edition,’ and another volume (Cheshire), described as 
“A Hew Edition,” and dated on the frontispiece 1830. 
1831. Murray, T. L. 18|r 6 - X 14i. Scale, about 3 miles 
= 1 inch. Engraved by Hoare & Beeves. 
A well-engraved and clear map of the county, in a narrow, 
double-ruled border, in which the degrees and minutes of latitude 
and longitude are marked.
