1834. Rodwell, Mary Martha. H x 3i. Scale, 
about 12 miles = 1 inch. 
An outline map of Hertfordshire, in a narrow double-ruled 
border, forming the lower half of a small octavo page, of which 
a map of Buckinghamshire fills the upper part. The two maps are 
separated by a thin, double line. They show the county boundaries, 
the rivers and their branches (their names represented by the 
letters «, b, c, etc.), and the principal towns (the latter numbered 
1, 2, 3, etc.). These letters and numbers refer to lists at the head 
of the descriptions of the respective counties in the letterpress. 
The extent of the common boundaries of the five counties adjoining 
Hertfordshire is indicated by faint dotted lines drawn a little 
distance from the actual boundary. At the top of the map: 
“ Hertfordshire,” in small, open capitals. 
From ‘ The Geography of the British Isles,’ a work in dialogue, 
“illustrated with separate blank maps and explanatory keys;

etc. of each county. For the use of young persons and schools.
