(This map is reprinted in Bocque’s ‘Small British Atlas,’ 1753, 
1762, and 1764(?), and also in 1769 in ‘England Displayed’ (see 
pp. 197, 200, 201, 202, and 206, post), but with a scale of 6 instead 
of 5 miles. The plate seems otherwise unaltered in these reprints.)

Shows the county, with its hundreds, roads (the “open” roads 
with dotted margins), rivers, borough and market towns, and 
villages, with the parks and hills. The map has a plain, ruled 
margin divided into degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude, 
the latter from London. In the right-hand top corner a very 
ornamental panel, with festoons of fruit and flowers, etc., and 
bearing: “Hertfordshire, Drawn from an Accurate Survey By 
T. Kitchin Geographer,” and in the left-hand bottom corner 
a circular indicator of the H. and E.. with star in centre. In the 
right hand bottom-corner, “ Bemarks,” being a list of the indications 
on the map, and below, a scale of (8) “English Miles.” On the

1748. Wale, S. 6f X 5 §-. Seale, about 4 miles = 1 inch. 
Copies of a map of Herts attributed to the publication mentioned 
below and the date 1748, are found in the collections of Mr. Greg 
and Mr. Evans, but I have not seen the book itself, which is not 
in any of the public libraries, so far as I know. 
The map shows the roads and rivers, with towns, villages, hills, 
and trees. The degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude are 
marked in the margin. In the bottom border is: “Long. fro. 
London.” Outside the map at the right-hand top corner is the 
number 17, and in the left-hand top corner, in a rectangular frame, 
ornamented like a picture-frame, is the title: “A Correct Map 
of Hertford Shire.”
