H. G. FORD HAM—HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
This collection contains 2 maps of England and Wales, 38 maps 
of the English Counties, 3 of the Bidings of Yorkshire, and maps 
of North and of South Wales, making 45 in all. 
As Emanuel Bowen died in 1767, and is described in the title 
as “The late,” the Atlas must have been issued not earlier than 
in that year. Thomas Bowen died in 1790>' 
Gough, in ‘ British Topography,’ vol. i, atp. 99, after particulars 
of the ‘English Atlas’ by Kitchin & Bowen, London, 1765, 4to, 
continues : “ The Eoyal English Atlas, by the same hands, consists 
only of 44 maps; and a general one of England, smaller folio, 
to he had singly for a shilling, and the others for eighteenpence. 
Mr. Bowen, reduced by family extravagances, and almost blind 
through age, had begun to engrave them on a long quarto, in 
eighteen-penny numbers of three maps each; hut, dying May 
1767, before he had finished above three or four numbers, they 
were continued by his son.”
