H. G. FORDHAM-HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
From the ‘ Geographia, ques est Cosmographies Blaviancs , qua 
Orbis Terras Tabulis ante oculos ponitur, et Descriptionibus Illustrator ' 
Amsteleedami , Lahore et Sumptibus Joannis Blaeu , mdclxy (1665), 
published in eleven tomes, all of which, except the first, are 
dated 1662, the dedication of the first volume being itself dated 
9th June, 1662. This is a Latin edition of Blaeu’s ‘Atlas Major,’ 
and apparently the first under this title, although, as mentioned 
at p. 25, there is a volume of 1640 for which the same title is 
used, and which may represent a full and earlier edition. England, 
with the county maps and the text of Camden (Latin), fills the 
fifth volume, with the title ‘ Geographies Blavianes Volumen Quintum, 
quo Anglia , ques est Europes Liber undecimus , continetur .’ Amstelee¬ 
dami , Lahore et Sumptibus Joannis Blaeu , mdclxii (1662). The 
Latin text of Camden is in double columns, pp. 187 and 188 on 
the hack of the map of Hertfordshire. There are French editions 
in twelve volumes of 1663 and 1667 of this work, one in Spanish 
in ten volumes, with the original date of the Latin edition on 
the title-pages, and a Hutch edition ascribed to 1664-5 in the 
British Museum Catalogue, all of which contain the same map of 
Herts unaltered.

twelve volumes, large folio. Amsterdam , che% Jean Blaeu , m.dc.lxiii 
(1663). This volume, like the fourth part of the ‘ Theatre ’ of 
1648, is dedicated to Queen Henrietta Maria. It contains an

latter volume.

2 1 miles = 1 inch.

1664-5. 
1665 (P). Stent, Peter. 19^ x 15f. Scale, about 
2 miles = 1 inch. 
A coarsely-printed map like that of Saxton, which may even 
have been worked from Saxton’s plate very much altered. It 
shows the boundaries of the county and hundreds, the rivers (with 
bridges), and roads (indicated by a double, dotted line), towns, 
villages, hamlets and principal houses, hills, parks, woods, and
