H. G. FORD HAM-HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
* 1840 (?). Dix, Thomas. 17 T V x 14. Scale, about 
3 miles = 1 inch. 
A reprint of Dix’s map of Herts of 1816 exists in the British 
Museum, and is dated in the Catalogue as above ; it differs from the 
earlier impression as follows :—the title is engraved on the right 
of the view of Waltham Cross: “ Hertford, divided into Hundreds 
and the Parliamentary Divisions”; a “ Deference to the Hundreds”, 
in one column, is engraved in the right-hand top corner, Braughing 
being spelt with a terminal g, and Edwins Tree in two words ; 
the 4 ‘ Explanation ” is transferred to the right-hand bottom corner, 
and replaces the original title, which has been erased; along the 
bottom of the map, on the left of the scale of miles, is added: 
“The County of Hertfordshire returns three Members to Parlia¬ 
ment”, and the imprint at foot is: ‘‘London: William Darton & 
Son ; 58 Holborn Hill.” There is also a copy of this issue of 
Dix’s map in the Lewis Evans collection. 
As no railways are shown, the map must have been printed 
earlier than the date given above. The reference to the members 
of Parliament would place it after 1832, and the absence of rail¬ 
ways before 1838, the date of the opening of the London and 
Birmingham line. The British Museum copy folds in a cover, 
with, inside : “ Darton & Son’s Maps of the English Counties, 
Just Published, size, 18 Inches by 15 ”, and there follows a list of 
43 maps of the counties, including larger ones of Yorkshire, and 
Horth and South Wales. 
Mr. Andrews has an impression of this edition of the map which 
wants the imprint. 
(There is also a still later state which may be ascribed to about 
1852.) 
* 1841. Walker, John & Charles. 15£ x 12£. Scale, 
1 mile = f inch. 
A reprint of the map of Herts of 1835, in a collection bearing 
the title ‘ British Atlas,’ which contains 47 maps, with railroads 
inserted up to date. I have not been able to examine a copy of 
this atlas, but it is, presumably, the first issue of the atlas described 
under date 1862. London, fol. 
* 1842. Leigh, Samuel. 2£ x 4f. Scale, 10 miles = 
1 inch. Engraved by Sidney Hall. 
A reprint of the map of Herts described under date 1820, altered 
by the insertion of the Birmingham and Cambridge railways, the 
omission of the imprint at the right-hand bottom corner of the 
page, and the alteration of that on the left-hand side to: “ Pub. by 
M. A. Leigh 421 Strand.” 
Erom ‘Leigh’s Hew Pocket Atlas of England and Wales.’ 
London, 1842, 12mo. It contains fifty-five maps of the counties, 
and a general map, with an Introduction dealing with the origins 
of the names and divisions of England and Wales, but has no 
Index. It is published by “ G. Biggs, Successor to Leigh & Son, 
421, Strand, (Kemoved from Ho. 18)”.
