been a much earlier issue, without railways, of which maps of 
a few counties occur in a copy in my possession of the ‘ English 
Topography’ of 1816 {ante, p. 185). 
1840 (c). Pocket Topography and Gazetteer of 
England* 6f x 4L Scale, 10 miles = 1 inch. Engraved by 
Pigot & Slater. 
A. map of Herts in a ruled border, showing the degrees and 
minutes of latitude and longitude. It gives the county boundaries, 
the main and some cross roads, the rivers and canals, the 
Birmingham and London, and Cambridge railways, with towns, 
villages, and parks. The details are carried to the margin of the 
map, so as to include parts of Beds, Bucks, Essex, and Middlesex. 
In a panel in the centre of the top border, slightly projecting above 
and below it: “ Hertfordshire.”, in ornamental letters. In a similar 
panel in the bottom margin a “ Scale of Miles ” (10). In the right- 
hand top corner a slightly-drawn arrow-head indicator of the north, 
and, in the left-hand top corner, an “ Explanation ”, giving the 
turnpike roads, railroads, rivers, canals, and boundary of counties. 
At the foot of the map, below the centre : “ Published by Pigot & C°

From 1 A Pocket Topography and Gazetteer of England,’ 
published by Pigot & Co., in 2 volumes. London, no date, 12mo. 
The above date is somewhat problematic. Vol. i appears from its 
Preface to have been issued “ some time in advance of the second ” 
In vol. i the census of 1831 is quoted, in vol. ii that of 1841. 
At the same time the insertion of the Birmingham Bailway 
(opened in 1838\ and that to Cambridge, point to a late period in 
the census decade. The whole work is dated 1842 (?) in the 
British Museum Library Catalogue. 
*1840 (c). Teesdale, Henry, & Co. 16^x 13-pv. 
Scale, about 3 miles = 1 inch. 
A reprint of the map of 1829 (c), with the addition of a road 
shortening, and in substitution for the old main road between 
Chipping Barnet and South Minims, drawn-in and coloured, and 
described as the “ Hew Hoad.” 
Erom a copy of the ‘ Hew British Atlas.’ London, no date, 4to. 
A copy in my collection, with the line on the title-page as to 
revision and correction redated “ 18-10.” There are water-marks on 
the paper of various maps. 1829, 1830, 1831, and 1835. On the 
binding of this atlas is the date 1845. 
Upon another copy of the map in this state, in the collection op 
Mr. Greg, is drawn across the original details, as if inserted after 
the plate was first engraved, a branch of the Grand Junction Canal 
from Rickmansworth, passing through Watford and Little Munclen 
to St. Albans, and marked: “St. Albans Branch.” I am unable 
to assign a satisfactory date to this impression, but it must have 
been later than the one above noted, upon which no trace of this 
projected canal exists.
