* 1739. Moll, Herman. lO-pg x 7f. Scale, about 3£ miles — 
1 inch. 
A reprint of the map of 1724 in the collection of Moll’s county 
maps. 
Prom ‘ A Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and 
Wales,’ apparently the 2nd edition. London, 1739, fol. I have 
not seen this re-issue. 
1742. Badeslade, Thomas, and William Henry 
Toms. 5p£ x 5 f. Scale, 7 miles = 1 inch. Drawn by Badeslade 
and engraved by Toms [29th Sept., 1741]. 
A map of the county with north to the right hand, and with 
wide shading outside boundary, so as to give it the appearance 
of an island. The rest of the space within the border slightly 
shaded. On the left-hand side, within the margin, a strip divided 
from the map itself by a single line, containing a list of the principal 
towns with dates of markets and fairs, the whole engraved within 
a plain double-lined border. At the top (west) of map, “ A Map of 
Hertfordshire North from London,” and, outside the margin at the 
right-hand top corner, the number 20. At foot below margin, 
“ T. Badeslade delin” on left; in centre, “Publish’d by the Pro¬ 
prietors T. Badeslade and W. H. Toms Sept r 29th, 1741 ” ; and 
on right, “ W. H. Toms Sculpt .” 
The map itself shows the principal roads and rivers, a few hills 
and trees, the towns, and some villages and hamlets. In the right- 
hand top corner is a small star-indicator of the north (set to the 
right) in a circle, and with the letters W., S., and E. In the 
left-hand bottom corner a scale of (10) “English Miles.” Where 
the roads leave the county the direction is given in some cases. 
From the 1 Chorographia Britannia, or A Set of Maps of all 
the Counties in England and Wales.’ At the foot of the 
title-page it is stated that “This Collection (conveying a more 
comprehensive Idea of South Britain than any thing hitherto 
publish’d) was first Drawn, and compiled into a Pocket Book, by 
Order and for the Use of his late Majesty King George I. By 
Thomas Badeslade Surveyor and Engineer, and now neatly 
Engrav’d by Will: Henry Toms.” London, 1742, 12mo. 
This work consists of 46 double pages of maps and 5 of letterpress 
(including tables of the roads and lists of towns), besides the title- 
page and dedication, which are also engraved. 
All the maps and tables are dated in the same way at the foot, 
Sept. 29th, 1741. 
I have a copy of this work in my collection. There are also two 
copies in the British Museum, both without date, but, apparently, 
published subsequently to the above edition, though probably in 
the same year. The maps in both are all “Publish’d by the 
Proprietor W. H. Toms Sept. 29, 1742,” and there are added at 
the end of the volume in each case two plates of two pages 
each, No. 49, Bates for Hackney Coaches, and No. 50, Bates for 
Hackney Chairmen, making up 53 plates, besides the title-page 
and dedication.
