H. G. FORDHAM—HERTFORDSHIRE MAPS. 
historical notes on the Earls and Marquises of Hartford (1100 to 
1749), an “ Explanation,” and a note on the county. These notes 
and the materials generally are those of Bowen & Kitchin’s earlier 
maps (q.v.). 
Erom a large atlas of county maps, of which I have examined 
a copy in the Library of the Royal Geographical Society, entitled: 
‘ The English Atlas ; or a set of Maps of all the Counties of 
England and Wales.’ London, n.d., folio. 
This Atlas is “ Sold by R. Martin, Bookseller, Ho. 47, Great 
Queen Street Lincoln’s-Inn Fields.” The maps in it are all dated 
June 1, 1777, except Devonshire, Hereford, Leicester and Rutland, 
and Worcester, which are January 1, 1778, and Essex, Gloucester¬ 
shire, Kent, Sussex, and S. Wales, which are undated. If these 
are original dates of the first impressions of the plates, the Atlas 
cannot have been issued before 1778 (but see 1765, Kitchin & Bowen, 
p. 202 ante).
