The description of Herts in this work runs from pp. 211 to 215. 
* 1785. Bowles, Carington. 12|x 81. Scale, 4 \miles = 
1 inch. 
A reprint of Emanuel Bowen’s map of Herts in the 1 Atlas 
AnglicanusJ with the title altered by the erasure of the panel in 
the left-hand top corner of the map and the insertion in its place 
of a plain circle containing: “ Bowles’s Hew Medium Map of 
Hartford Shire, Divided into its Hundreds ; Exhibiting the Loads, 
Towns and Villages, with their Distance from London, Church 
Livings, Seats of the Hobility, and Historical Bemarks. London : 
Printed for the Proprietor Carington Bowles, Ho. 6y in St. Pauls 
Church Yard.” The indicator of the points of the compass on 
the left-hand side of the map, which in the 1 Atlas Anglicanus ’ is 
a plain circle, is here filled up with a star. Below the margin, 
in the centre, is added : *‘ Published as the Act directs, 3 Jan. 1785.” 
There is also the number 16 in the margin of the plate in the top 
right-hand corner in lieu of “Ho. 3” which occurs in the former 
impression. Otherwise the map is unaltered. 
Erom ‘ Howies’s Hew Medium English Atlas ; or, Complete Set 
of Maps of the Counties of England and Wales.’ There are 
forty-four maps in this collection, including a general map of 
England and Wales. London, 1785, 4to. 
There is another impression of this map : “ Printed for the 
Proprietors Bowles & Carver,” which is not dated at foot, and no 
doubt belongs to a re-issue of the above-mentioned atlas, at a date 
which I have no means of fixing, as I have not seen such an 
atlas, and my only authority for its existence is the map in the 
collection of Mr. Lewis Evans (Herts County Museum). 
1785 (c). Bowles, [Carington ?]. 7^ x 6. Scale, 
7 miles = 1 inch. 
A map of Herts, in the collection of Mr. Lewis Evans, in a plain 
double-ruled border, with the degrees marked and the lines of 52° 
H. latitude and 0° longitude carried across the map, showing 
rivers, roads, towns, villages, parks, trees, and hills. At the top, 
in a narrow strip outside the border : “ Bowles’s Reduced Map of 
Hartford shire ” ; and in the right-hand corner the number 25. In 
the left-hand top corner is : “ Min s West Longitude from London ” ; 
and below: “Remarks,” with details of the signs shown on the 
map. In the left-hand bottom corner a scale of (8) “British 
Statute Miles.” At the right-hand top corner, a star-indicator of 
the north in a circle, with a cross on the right-hand side (east), and 
at the bottom corner on the same side : “ Min s East Long e .” 
This map is, no doubt, from another atlas, smaller than the £ Hew 
Medium English Atlas,’ issued by Carington Bowles about the 
same time as the latter, but I have not seen a copy. 
* 1785 (c). Kit chin, Thomas. 25f x 20f. Scale, 
about 1£ miles = 1 inch.
