H. Gr. FORDHAM-HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
* 1677 . Garret, John. Map filling triangular space about 
3x3. Scale, about 20 miles = 1 inch. 
A further impression of the map printed in the ‘ Book of the 
Names’ of 1657. This map is paged (improperly) 70, with 72 on 
the back. 
From a reprint of the 1 Book of the Names,’ London, 1677, 4to. 
The title of this volume is identical with that of the previous 
issues, but it is “ Printed by S. S. for John Garret, at his Shop as 
you go up the Stairs of the Boyal Exchange in Cornhil: Where is 
also sold all sorts of large and small Maps of the World, or any 
particular part thereof, with variety of Prospect Cities, 1677.” 
* 1681 . Speed, John (Blome, Bichard). 8£ x 5£. 
Scale, 6 miles = 1 inch. Engraved by Wenceslaus Hollar [1670 
or 1671]. 
A reprint of the map of Herts described under date 1671 (?), 
ante p. 31, but without the number 17, and with the addition, in 
the panel in the left-hand bottom corner, below the list of the 
hundreds, of a coat of arms and the dedication “ To the Worshipfull 
G e orge [s«V] Hadley of East Barnet Esq : This Mapp is D.D. by 
B. B.” The map has no roads. It occurs in a small octavo set of 
Blome’s county maps indexed under Speed in the British Museum 
Library, but without text, and dedicated to Sir Thomas Fitch by 
Bichard Blome. The volume contains also a folding map of 
England, the Netherlands, and the adjoining parts of Europe, 
“W. Hollar fecit A° 1667,” and the county maps, where dated, 
bear the original dates (1671, etc ). The title is in coarse type— 
‘ Speed's Maps Epitomiz’d: or the Maps of the Counties of 
England, Alphabetically placed. London Printed Ann. Dom. 1681.’ 
It is referred to in Gough’s ‘ Anecdotes,’ at p. 43. It would 
appear from this reference, which is repeated in Gough’s ‘ British 
Topography,’ 2 vols., London, 1780, 4to, that the work was 
reprinted in 1685, but the matter is not clear, and I have not seen 
any other copy than that noted above. 
This is the ofiginal series of small county maps by Hollar issued 
by Blome about 1670-71. It seems probable that the re-issue by 
Thomas Taylor of this collection, under the title ‘ England Exactly 
Described,’ did not take place until early in the eighteenth century, 
and the statements under the head of “1671 (?). Taylor, Thomas ” 
(p. 31 ante ) must be read with this qualification. Gough, in 
his ‘British Topography,’ vol. i, at pp. 103, 104, gives the title 
of this work of Taylor in full, but does not indicate any date of 
publication, only saying that the maps are dated 1715, 1716, 1718. 
The earlier issues, up to one in which occurs a map of Scotland 
dated 1715, do not show the roads, but a copy containing this map, 
as well as one of Ireland dated 1716, has the roads inserted 
(q.v. post, p. 184). 
* 1683. Valk, Gerard, and Peter Schenk. 22 x 17. 
Scale, about 2 miles = 1 inch.
