A map with an irregular and very ornamental border, with views, 
architectural designs, and coats of arms engraved in or within it. 
The map itself shows the hundreds (indicated by numbers 
referring to a list in the margin), rivers, the Grand Junction Canal, 
the principal and some cross roads, the towns, villages, parks, and 
houses, with the hills in the north of the county shaded. The 
roads and some other details are in some parts carried beyond the 
county boundary, and indications of the directions of the roads are 
given. In the left-hand top corner is a view of 8t. Albans Abbey 
from the west, and, below it, a series of ornamental gothic arches, and, 
again below, two shields, the one on the left containing a hart lying- 
down to right, the other, which has a black border ornamented with 
studs, showing a castle with three turrets and flags. To the right 
of the view of the Abbey, along the top margin of the map, a scroll 
with: “ Hertfordshire,” and below it the arms of St. Albans in 
a shield. In the left-hand bottom corner is a gothic archway with : 
“Deference to the Hundreds.” In the right - hand top corner 
a shield with coronet. In the right-hand bottom corner a gothic 
arch, as on the left side of the map, but the lower part covered by 
a view of Cashiobury. Above this view another coat of arms with 
coronet, and, to the left, a crowned and robed figure holding a shield. 
Below margin of map : “ Engraved for Moule’s English Counties, 
by W. Sehmollinger.” Ho meridians or scale on the map. 
Erom 4 The English Counties Delineated; or, A Topographical 
Description of England,’ by Thomas Moule, 2 vols., London, 1836, 
4to. This appears to be the earliest edition of the complete work. 
It has a sub-title, engraved, and dated 1836 : ‘England’s 
Topographer, or Moule's English Counties in the 19th Century.’ 
In the Preface, 4 4 the commencement of its publication, in M ay 
1830,” is referred to, from which it may be supposed that the 
above map may have actually been issued much earlier than 1836. 
I have, however, not been able to fix any earlier date, if such 
earlier copies were issued. This work was reprinted in 1837 and 
1838, and probably at later dates. At all events, later copies of the 
map of Herts are found; five states in all, distinguished by successive 
additions in the details of the map, etc., have come under my 
notice, but of these I have only been able to date two.
