II. G. FORD HAM - HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
Survey maps, with the parks, hills shaded, and di-dances of towns 
from London and between towns indicated on the principal roads, 
as well as the directions they take after leaving the countv 
boundary. The line of the Birmingham Railway is also inserted. 
The border is double-ruled, with the degrees and minutes of latitude 
and longitude marked in it. In the left-hand top corner, in a long- 
panel: “ Hertfordshire,” in ornamental capitals, and, below : “ By 
J. & C. Walker.” Below again, a scale of six “English Miles,” 
and furlongs. Below this scale are particulars of the area, 
population (1831 \ and representation in Parliament of the county, 
and a list of the hundreds, and of Ihe boroughs (Hertford and 
St. Albans) returning members to Parliament. In the light-hand 
top corner is a rather large and finely-engraved star-indicator of 
the points of the compass, and, in the bott"m corner on the same 
side of the map, the place of election and a list of the polling places, 
with, below, an indication of the boundaries of the boroughs (which 
latter are shown on the map by a thin blue line). At the foot: 
“ Published by Longman, Orme, Rees & Co. Paternoster Row 
London June 1 st 1835.” 
This appears to be the first issue of this set of county maps. 
They were collected into an atlas in 1841, and published under 
the title : ‘ British Atlas.’ It contained 47 maps. 
I have also seen a map of Herts, reprinted from the same plate 
as the above, dated 184 6. Hobson’s ‘Eox Hunting Atlas,’ issued 
about 1848, contains the same set of maps, and the ‘British Atlas’ 
was re-issued in 1862 and 1870. Subsequently the maps were 
reprinted from time to time by Edward Stanford, both plain and 
as fox-hunting maps, folding for the pocket, 1872 (c), 1885 (c), 
1892 (c). There were probably other issues at intermediate dates 
between 1835 and 1900. 
1835. Lewis, Samuel. 9} X 7f. Scale, 4\ miles = 
1 inch. Drawn by R. Creighton. 
An outline map of the county in a slightly ornamented border, 
giving the divisions of the hundreds, the main roads, the towns and 
a few villages, the boroughs returning members to Parliament, and 
the county polling-places. In the left-hand top corner: “ Hert¬ 
fordshire,” and a star-indicator of the points of the compass. In 
the bottom corner on the same side of the map, a scale of 7 miles, 
and, in the right-hand bottom corner, a table of “Explanations”, 
with signs corresponding with those on the map. Below the border, 
at the left-hand corner: “Drawn by R. Creighton,” and, at the 
right-hand corner: “ Engraved by J & C. Walker.” At the 
right-hand side of the map, outside the border close to the bottom 
corner, is the number of the plate : “ xxxv.” 
Erom a supplementary volume issued Avith the third edition 
(1835) of the 4 Topographical Dictionary,’ of which it forms a fifth 
volume, entitled : 4 Yiew of the Representative History of England, 
with Engraved Plans, shewing the Electoral Divisions of the 
several Counties, and the former and present boundaries of the 
cities and boroughs.’ By Samuel Lewis. London, 1835, 4to. The
