H. Gr. FORDHAM—HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
From an atlas of Speed’s maps, without letterpress. A copy in 
the British Museum is ascribed to 1666. 
* I860. Janssonius, Joannes. 22 x 17. Scale, 
about 2 miles = 1 inch. 
An unaltered impression of the map of Middlesex and Herts of 
1646, in the ‘ JVovus Atlas? This map has the Latin text of the 
description of Middlesex on the back, in double columns (not paged). 
From the first volume of the ‘ Atlas Contractus sive Atlantis 
majoris compendium: In quo Totum Universum Velut in Theatro ,’ 
etc. Amstelodami , Apud Joannis Janssonii p.m. Hceredes , Anno 
m.dc.lxvi. 2 vols., large folio. Both volumes are misdated on 
the first title-page mdlxvi, but the correct date is appended to the 
full title and to the dedication of the first volume (June, 1666). 
* 1668. Speed, John. 4Jf x 3^ 6 . Scale, 8 miles = 
1 inch. Engraved by Peter Keer [1599]. 
A further reprint of the map in the 1620 edition of the 
abridgment of the ‘ Theatre.’ 
From ‘ England . . . Described and Abridged . . ,’ by 
John Speed, London, 1666, obi. 12mo. The engraved title-page 
in this edition is like that in the copies of 1620 and 1627, but the 
plate has, apparently, been re-worked, and the letterpress in the 
left-hand bottom corner cut out. The date 1666 is inserted. The 
impressions of the maps in this edition are not so good as those in 
the earlier ones. A sub-title, ‘ A Prospect . . . . ’ has at foot, 
“London, Printed for Boger Eea, at the Gilded Cross in Winchester- 
street near Gresham-colledge. 1668.” 
* 1667. Blaeu, Johannes. 20 x 15£. Scale, 2\ miles = 
1 inch. 
Another unaltered reprint of Blaeu’s map of Herts. French 
text of Camden, pp. 161, 162 on back. 
This seems to be a reprint of the French edition of 1663, in 
12 vols. Large folio. 1667. 
* 1688. Jenner, Thomas. Map filling triangular space 
about 3X3. Scale, about 20 miles = 1 inch. 
Another reprint of the map in the ‘ Book of the Names’ of 1657. 
From a reprint of the ‘Book of the Names,’ redated 1668, 
London, 4to. 
1670 (c). Blome, Bichard. 8£ X 5f. Scale, 6 miles = 
1 inch. Engraved by Wenceslaus Hollar. 
For full description and notes on this map, see Thomas Taylor, 
1671, post , p. 31. 
A copy in Mr. Lewis Evans’ collection may, it seems probable, be 
a first impression of this map, as it has not the number 17 which 
occurs on the map in Taylor’s Atlas, nor are the roads inserted 
as in an impression later than Taylor’s. In the panel left blank 
in the map in Taylor’s Atlas is the dedication, “ To the Worshipfull 
Coll. Sylas Titus of Bushye, Esqr. This Mapp is humbly DD 
by E. B.”
