H. Gr. FORDHAM-HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
Probably an original and not a reprint (see Stent, Peter, p. 28). 
In the Gough Collection in the Bodleian Library is a volume of 
Saxton’s maps with the insertion of a map of England—“ Christo 
. . . phorus . . . Saxton Describebat: London, printed and 
sould by P. Stent at the White horse in guilt spur streete without 
Newgate, 1652. Petrus Kaerius ccelavit ”—and a second map of 
England dated also anno 1652. This is, apparently, an original and 
complete copy of Saxton, and contains Hertfordshire. It is perhaps 
a single copy of the original made up with the additional maps. 
* 1652 (P). Janssonius, Joannes. 22 x 17. Scale, 
about 2 miles = 1 inch. 
The map of Middlesex and Herts, reprinted after that of 1646. 
Erom a French edition of the ‘ Novus Atlas? in five tomes, of 
which the title runs—‘ Nouvel Atlas , ou Theatre du Monde , Com- 
prenant Les Tables et Descriptions de toutes les Regions du Monde 
Universeld The title bears the Latin imprint, and is dated, in 
tome i, 1656. In the only copy I have seen of this atlas, that in 
the University Library, Cambridge, the fourth tome is dated (with 
the Latin title) 1652, and contains maps without text, mostly by 
Jansson, but some by Blaeu, Herts being amongst these latter, but 
it seems probable that this was originally a complete work by 
Jansson, with his map of Middlesex and Herts. 
* 1657. Jenner, Thomas. Map filling triangular space 
about 3x3. Scale, about 20 miles = 1 inch. 
A reprint of the map in Jenner’s ‘Direction for the English 
Traviller’ of 1643 (q.v.), but with letterpress list of places in 
three columns below and on back. At top of page “Hartford- 
shire,” and page 71. It is distinguishable from the impression in 
the edition of the ‘ Book of the Names ’ of 1677 by the pagination. 
This is from a thin quarto volume in which the plates of the 
‘Direction’ of 1643 are used with a new title, explanation of 
the Tables, and a list of places in each county. The title is ‘ A 
Book of the Names of all Parishes, Market Towns, Villages, 
Hamblets, and smallest Places, in England and Wales . . . . ’ 
London: Printed by M. S. for Thos. Jenner. At the South entrance 
of the Royall Exchange, 1657. 
(Beprinted in 1662, 1668, and 1677.) 
1657 (?). Speed, John. 20 x 15. Scale, 2^ miles = 
1 inch. Engraved by Jodocus Hondius. 
Probably an unaltered impression of the map of 1611. 
In the Douce Collection in the Bodleian Library is a page from 
a bookseller’s catalogue in which the English editions of Speed’s 
‘Theatre’ are given as 1611, 1614, 1627, and 1657, but I have 
never seen a copy of the last-mentioned date. I have, however, 
a copy of Speed’s map of Herts, which differs in respect to the 
text and ornamentation on the back from the map in any edition 
I have seen. It might belong to that of 1614, but it seems 
a late impression and the plate is worn, which points to a period
