Printed from the same plate as the map ascribed to 1766, hut 
with the design filled in with many additional names of places, 
hamlets, etc., and with those of the owners of estates. At the 
right-hand bottom corner, in one line on the margin, is added: 
“London, Published as the Act directs Eeby 1 st . 1777 by Andrew

An unaltered impression of the large map of Herts in nine sheets, 
ascribed to 1766 [with, no doubt, the addition of the date and 
publisher’s name in the title, as in the Index-map of this date]. 
* 1778 (c). Bowen, Emanuel. 20 x I6i. Scale, 
2 miles = i inch. 
A reprint of a map of Herts which was, apparently, first 
issued in ‘The English Atlas’ of Kitchin & Bowen in 1765, and 
may probably have been reprinted at other dates. It has a ruled 
border showing the degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude, 
with lines across the map at a distance of 5' apart. In bottom 
margin: “ Longitude from London.” Below map on margin of 
plate: “Ho. 16,” and: “London, Printed for Rob*. Sayer and 
John Bennett, Ho. 53 Eleet street, John Bowles, Ho. 13 Cornhill, 
and Carington Bowles, Ho. 69 St. PauK Church Yard, as the Act 
directs 1st of June, 1777.” [There is a copy in Mr. Evans’ 
collection (Herts County Museum) which bears an imprint, without 
date, of R. Sayer & J. Rvall, T. Bowles, J. Bowles & Son, 
Bakewell & Parker, H. Overton, and T. Kitchin.] 
Shows the hundreds, roads (with distances in miles), towns, 
villages, and many other details, and many notes, historical and 
others, on the map. All the margins, also, are filled with notes. 
In the left-hand top corner is a large ornamented escutcheon, 
with view of cottage, fish, a plough, basket with fowls, and sheaves 
of corn below it, and bearing: ‘ ‘ An Accurate Map of Hartford 
Shire Divided into Hundreds ; Drawn from Surveys and Illustrated 
with Historical Extracts relative to its Hatural Produce, Trade 
and Manufactures; Describing also the Church Livings, Charities 
Schools Etc. with other improvements By Eman: Bowen Geog r . 
to his late Majesty.” To the right of this panel is a note on the 
town of Hertford, and one on the orthography of the name. 
Down the left-hand side of the map (in one column) is a long list 
of the seats of the nobility and gentry, and, in the lower left-hand 
corner, are a globe-indicator of the points of the compass, with 
a large cross on the left-hand side,* a note on St. Albans, and 
a scale of miles. In the right-hand top corner are notes on Hitchin 
and Bishop’s Stortford, and in the bottom corner on the same side, 
* A curious perversion of the old custom of marking the East by a cross 
pointing to Jerusalem.
