21 by 16 inches, and includes the whole of Sussex and Mid-
dlesex, and parts of Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckingham-
shire and Essex, as well as Kent. As regards details,
Saxton only gives symbols for churches and shews no roads,
and in other respects is distinctly inferior to Syinonson.

Before drawing attention to the numerous valuable and,
in some respects, unique features of Sy1n0nson’s map, I will
deal with its date and reprints.

The impression which I have before me, and of which a
reduced facsimile (if I may be excused the expression) is
herewith given, bears two dates. My attention was first
drawn to this fact by a MS. note in the copy of Philipot’s
Vz'lla¢r(: Ceatirxxnzmn, in the handwriting of the well-known
antiquary William Twopeny.

The note refers to this copy of the map, which was
inserted in the volume. Twopeny says: “The map in-
serted in this volume appears to be an impression of it in
its original state. The original date, 1576, is nearly etfaced
from the copper, 1596 being inserted near it.” In order to
obtain further information on this point I enquired at the
British Museum, the Bodleian, and the Guildhall, but none
of them possessed a copy; nor, indeed had they ever heard
of one. I also connnunicated with Sir George Fordhani,
whose knowledge of cartography, more especially in connec-
tion with Englisli county maps, is second to none, and with
Dr. Cook of Appledore, but neither of those two great
authorities could assist me. It will be noticed that in the
bottom riglit—lrand corner one can read clearly the date
l,-396, and, in the extreme corner, but appearing very
faintly, t-he date l57G.*

Considering_;' the manner in which this map has been
dealt with at later dates, it seems to be desirable to give
contemporary corroborative evidence of the date of its pub-
lication. Lamb-arde, in the second edition of his l"ew.nnlm-

tion. of Kent, published in 1-596, says: “Divers other smal
pipes of water there be . . . . which I may the better passe
over with silence, because tlwy may with more pleasure bee

seene in the Charde then read here. For my good friend
Master Philip Simonson of Rochester, hath lately published
some parte of his labor in describing our shyre of Kent,
whereby not onely the Townes and Huiidreds, with the Hilles
and Houses of men of woorthe, are more truel y seated : but
also the Seacoastes, Rivers, Creekes, VVaterings, and Rilles,
be more exactly shadowed and traced, than heoretofore, in
this, or any other of our lande (that 1 know) hath been per-
formed. Besides the which he hath observed sundry other
things very serviceable, though not meete to be made com-
1nune.”* This clearly establishes the fact that Synionson
published a map of Kent i11 .1596, but does 11ot help us in
relation to the earlier date.

Turning, however, to the first edition of Lanibarde
which appeared in 1576, though “ collected and written for
the most part in the yeare 1570,” we read (p. l77) as follows:
“M-aidstone: At which place (as l thinlre) the name of
Medwey first beginneth . . . . [the river] crossing,_;' the Shire,
as it were in the midst . . . . If I faile in this derivation, the
fault . . . . is his that made the Chart of this Shyre."

From this statement it is clear that there was in exist-
ence a cliart or map of the county in or before 1576. His
comment, which implies that the name “l,\Iedwa_v " first
appears on the map a little below and not above lVIaidstone,
ratlier complicates the question; for on my map the name
appears as high up as Yalding, and in Saxton’s map it is
not given at all.

We are driven to the conclusion, then, that Lambarde,
writing in 1576 or e-.t1'lier, must have had before him either
a copy of Syinonson’s map, but not in the sanie state as it
appeared in l596. or some other map of which all record
has been completely lost. I suwgest,  the. most probable

C

explanation, that Lambarde had seen an early. perliaps a
trial, impression of S_vn1onson’s map on which some of the
rnmes that apps-ar later had not at tliat time been inserterl.

on a scale of two miles to one inch. It is framed in an
ornamental scroll border, inside of which are three ruled
lines, containing the degrees and the minutes of latitude
and longitude on the meridian of the Azores. In the top
right-hand corner of the map are the Royal Arms of the
time of Elizabeth, and in the bottom left—hand corner tables
giving a list of the “ Lathes, Bailywicks, Hundreds,
Market Towns ;” “ Cityes with their Cathedral and parishe
churches ;” and Cinque “Portes and their members byinge
in Kent ;” and lastly, “ Franchises.” I11 the bottom right-
hand corner is 21 scale of ten English miles surmounted by
a pair of compasses, and the following inscription below:

the Royal Arms, is given: “A view of Dover Castle and
Towno from y“ Landside "; and, on the bottom of the view,
“ W. Hollar fecit ”. A print of this is in a copy of Philipot
in the British Museum, and the engravings are fresh and
clear. This impression bears no date, though faint signs of
both 1596 and 1576 can be detected. They appear to have
been intentionally erased. We can, however, (late it
approximately between 16:35-6, when Hollar first came to
England, and 1641, when Van Dyke died; though it is of
course possible that the plate was first published after Van
Dyke’s death. 1’. Stent’s name is given as the publisher,
as in the earlier impression, and VVhitwell as the engraver.

(3.) The next in order of date would seem to be siinilar
in all respects to the t'oreg'oi11g__,-, except that after “ Printed
and sould by P. Steut” is added “ at y" VVl1ite Horse in
Uriltspnr Street,” and the date “ lti:'>Sl.” A copy of this is
in the possession of Dr. Cock of Appledore, and he informs
me that the earlier dates are faintly visible and tllat the
e11-_;'1'n\'in_I_g's are clear.

i (I-.) The next. zlgaiiil unzlatml, is silnilar. but in place of
“ I’. Stunt " appears "printed by J" (iln-rton at y“ \Vhite
Horse no-are S‘ Pulcliers Uliurch." Copies of this impression
are in the possession of Dr. Uoclc, and in the Liuildhall. and
Bodleian Libraries, and in the British Mnseun1."'*‘ The
plates in all these are excceiliiigly taint, the plate havin5.,r
evidelilly become greatly worn. Traces, liowever, of the
earlier dates are still to be detected.

(5.) The map occurs for the fifth and last time in Harris’
Iliistory of Kent, which appe-.1red in 171%). In this case the
map is surrounded by a border or frame composed of 118
arms of subscribers to his work. The meridian is altered
to that of London. hi the top of the map, towards the left,
in at t'ra.me-like border, “A Map of the County of Kent”;
at the bottom, near the centre, “ Engraven by Sam‘ Parker,
1719 ”; and filling up the bottom 1'igl1t-l1a11<l corner and in
place of Symonson’s description is “ A View of Dover C-ast—le

Having o11re1'111ly compared the map in reg-(1111 to these
p21rticu121rs with Mr. Oy1e1"s pl1otogr21p11s,* I find that of
the 251 old ehnrelies given by him, in the Diocese of Can-
terbur , 147 are correctly represented in the 111211). Of the
