H. G. EORDHAM-HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
Persons in each County, and the Errors in the Spellings carefully 
amended in the Plates, according to the Corrections returned, so 
far as they appeared to be needful; that is, where the Name of the 
Place, as it stood in the former Edition of the Map, did not answer 
either the way of writing or the common way of pronouncing among 
the People. If it answered either of these, it was judged sufficient; 
if neither, it is corrected.” And he adds: “Put tho’ the Maps 
thus amended, serve the purposes of the present Work, by carrying 
the eye of the Reader from place to place as he peruses the 
Descriptions, and do also, in the main, answer the other purposes 
of such Topographical Surveys; and tho’, of late years, particular 
Surveys have been taken of some few Countries \_sic\, and Maps of 
them published with good degrees of Care and Accuracy: Yet it 
is much to be wished, for the honour of these Nations, that due 
Encouragement might he found for some skilful and diligent 
hands, to take New Surveys of the several Counties of Great - 
Britain and Ireland , in order to one uniform Body of Maps; so 
fair, with regard to the Letter, and so disentangled with regard 
to the Distances of the Names from each other, as to he not only 
useful, but easy and delightful to the Eye.” 
* 1723. Nor den, John. 9f x 7f. Scale, about 4 miles = 
1 inch. Engraved by John Senex, F.R.S. 
A map of Herts engraved by John Senex, after the original map 
by Norden of 1598. This map, though closely copied, is dis¬ 
tinguishable by a slight difference of dimensions, as well as by 
various particulars. In the scroll round the royal arms in the 
left-hand top corner “ Penc ” ( sic ) is substituted for “Pence” in 
the original, and there are other trifling variations. The original 
date and the words following, “ Wilhelmus Tcip Sculpsit ,” are 
naturally omitted in the panel in the right-hand bottom corner. 
From a reprint of the ‘ Speculum Britannia? which differs from 
the original work in some details of the type. The book is 
“ Printed for Daniel Browne, Senior and Junior,” London, 1723, 4to. 
1724. Moll, Herman. lO-Ae- x 7f. Scale, about 3miles =

Gives hundreds, roads, rivers, towns and villages, with hamlets, 
houses, parks, hills, and woods. It has a double-ruled border, 
with the degrees and minutes of longitude and latitude marked, 
and the words “ First meridian from London ” in the margin. The 
hundreds are distinguished by capital letters A to H, and detached 
parts by small letters i to l , a detached part of the county being 
identified by the letter m. In the left-hand top corner, in rectangular 
panel, “ Hertford Shire. By H. Moll Geographer,” and below the 
panel a list of the hundreds. At the top of the map on the right- 
hand side, a list of the parts of the hundreds, etc., corresponding 
with the letters on the map. In the bottom right-hand corner 
a scale of (5) “ English Miles,” and a circular indicator showing the 
north and east. On either side of the map, within the engraved 
plate, are six coins, the plate, with the two columns of coins, being
