H. G. FORDHAM-HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
181 
the set of county maps by Morden in Gibson’s edition of Camden’s 
* Britannia ’ of 1795. 
From an Atlas of County Maps without date or title, folio, 
dated 1680 (?) in the British Museum Catalogue, hut, for reasons 
stated at p. 179 ante, more probably not earlier than 1695. I have 
also a copy of this collection of Morden’s maps separately bound, 
without title. The impressions of the plates are fainter than 
those in the 3rd edition (1753) of the * Britannia ,’ so that this 
separate issue may be later than 1753. My copy contains the 
whole of the 61 plates found in the ‘ Britannia ,’ including the 
series of maps of the English Counties. 
1700 (c). Morden, Robert. 8J x 6g. Scale, about 
5 miles = 1 inch. 
Map of Herts from Morden’s small Atlas, the first edition, of 
which, however, I have not seen a copy. It is much like Morden’s 
large map, drawn on the same plan, and with much the same 
detail; but the names of places and the spellings differ, and the 
meridians both of latitude and longitude are slightly different 
from those laid down on the larger map. Gives the hundreds 
(indicated by capital letters), roads, rivers (with a few bridges), 
towns, villages, hamlets, houses, parks, woods, and beacons. Some 
of the principal houses, and a few of the hamlets and detached 
parts of hundreds, are also indicated by small letters, referring to 
a list in the margin. The border of the map is of double lines, 
with degrees in minutes of latitude and longitude marked. In 
the top border, “ Hours from .... London ” and “ Hor-th.” 
In the bottom border, 4 ‘ West from .... London ” and “ East 
. . . from London . . . Degrees.” In the left-hand top 
corner, in a column against the left-hand side of the map, is a list 
of houses, etc., lettered a to w, and to its right, within a wreath 
incomplete at the top, “Hartford shire. By BA Morden at the 
Atlas in Corn-hill. London.” In the left-hand bottom corner, in 
another column, a list of “ The Hundreds,” lettered A to H. 
Towards the right-hand bottom corner “ A scale of Miles,” with 
three scales below it. 
(Beprinted in the second edition of the Atlas, 1704, and, slightly 
altered, in another edition of the county maps, with three maps 
(of England, etc.) added, by Moll, in 1708, and again in the 
‘ Magna Britannia et Hibernia ’ of 1720.) 
1700. Chauncy, Sir Henry. 18J- x 14£. Scale, about 
2 miles = 1 inch. Engraved by Herman Moll. 
A plain map, on thin paper, very like Seller’s map of 1676, 
showing the hundreds, rivers, roads, towns and villages, gentlemen’s 
houses and parks, water and windmills, and other details. The 
meridians are marked in the margin. In top border : “ Longitude 
East from London in Minutes of Time.” In scrolled panel in 
left-hand top corner : “ The County of Hertford. With Additions 
and Corrected and Amended in many places. H. Moll Fecit A° 
1700.” To the right of the map against top border, scale of miles,
