HAVING for fome years pafl made Geography my ftuuy upon a particular cccafion, which perhaps iray appear hereafter, I could not help taking notice of the de- ficiency of all compendiums of this kind, borli with re- fpedl to the number and length of tlie articles, lor which realbn I hoped to do my country fome fervice, in giving them another more copious and more complete, continuing its portablenefs at the lame time. The defcription of our own country has been greatly negleded, as if it was hardly worth our notice, though it ought to be the firft and prin- cipal objtrcft of enquiry to every Briton. Tliis is not unlike the fending young gentlemen abroad to vifit foreign parts, before they have obtained any adequate knov.'Iedge of the laws, conllitution, trade, product, and geography of the realm in which they drew their firfl breath. Perhaps the deficiencies may be thought only to relate to pocket treatifes of this kind ; but the fame objeclions will lie againll larger volumes with relation to the number of the articles : which, that it may appear more readily, the rea- der may obferve that thofe wanting in others, are marked with an aflerifm thus ('*) Mowevcr, thefc are not all, for there are feveral other confiderable towns and provinces, which fhould have been thus diflinguiflied, and which have been overlooked. As for the ufefulnefs of geography in general, nothing need be laid, it being a lludy now greatly in vogue ; and there are none but the very dregs of the people that havK not fome occafion or other to be acquainted therr-v/nh, Ir, n is m .^ PR ]?. F A c r.. is abiokucly nccclTu-y to men of letters becaufe^ no hiftory can be- well undcrllood rvithoiit it: as alio to politicians, it bein'- imponiblc to und:rlland the: true- mtercft ot different ftate°andcoLintiies, without the knowledge ot this Icience. Officers, both by lea ar,d laml, have great need of it, be- cauie it lets thcni inro the nature and eu-cumllances of places find towns and enable.^ them to take their meailires accord- inaly. Merchants and traders ought to ftudy it beyond all do'Iibr, becaufe it affills them in taking prudent nicalures in order to eilabiiih a beneficial commerce. In lliort, all tiiole who have either interefl or curiofity to know any thing of the tranfacftions of the world, or are defirous of forming fome judgment of tlie difi'crent events, which happen in the times'^of war or peace, ought not to be ignorant of geography. The difcoveries that have been made of late years in dif- ferent parts of the globe, and the various fettlemtnts and emigrations in conlequence thereof, render tlie old fyllema- tical writers of little or no ule ; elpecially as they had very little knowledge of the places they treated of, and have Ihiffed their books full of abfurd and monllrous llories, the natural offspring of the credulity of thofe times. 1 wifli I could lay our modern relations were more to be depended upon in many inftj.nces ; for moil travellers feem to be very fond of the marvelbus, and for that realbn greedily fwallow the moil improbable fables. As fur initance, Mr. Oving- ton, afterwards the king's chaplain, tells us that in the ifland of Johanna, the inhabitant.'i have a cuftoni of burn- ing the devil evfiy year, and that he in revenge conftantly Heals one of their children annually, notwithllanding the utmofl: care to prevent it. liov/ever, this demon is fo good- natured as to inform them, after certain invocations, of the time of the arrival of any foreign lliip. He adds, that they often meet him 'in the highways and ilreets in the evening, and by the water-fide. Now if lb learned a man could give credit to fuch extravagant ftories, it is no wonder that ig- noiant Tailors fliould fo often be impofed upon, or be willing 10 impofe upon others.

V The places in this dictionary generally have tlie appella- tion of towns, which in others are termed cities j becaufe all cities are towns, though all towns are not cif'es. Be- fides, geographers are not agreed about the jj^opcrties that conflitute a city. In England and W;dcs every billiop's fee is a city, though the number of hou'es are l^aidly fufficient to deferve the name of a villa<.',e. In the Lo^v Countries every large walled place is a cicy, thougii it neitlic-r is, nor ever was a bifhop's fee, as for inllance Lifii : and yet in France they have a great number of cities Ukil have no walls or other fortifications. The French difiinguiih their towns by the names of /V//l', OVt', Boiir^^^ Bourgadc and Village -f but what the difference is between Ville and Cite is very hard to fay. Many would have Cite to be the molt ancient part ot a :own, and yet we find loine have been lately dignified wi;h that title, peihaj-.s by charter like our corporations, having Ibme parLicular privileges ; but then vv'hat fliall we lay l.o Paris, one part of which is a Ville, and the other a Cite. But be this as it will, the method I have taken is the lead liable to create confufion, becaufe it is al- ways laid, whether it is wailed or not, and whether it is a bifliop's fee or nc t. The cafieft way of finding places in a map is by the lon- gitude and latitude, the former being numbrrc;d on the top, and the latter on the fides : and therefore where lines drawn from each point, may be fuppoil^d to meet, there the town will be found. Befides this, there are the dillances from fomc remark ab't place or places, and the river, lake, or coaft on which any town is feated. The bell method of underflanding the map of any country, is firll to become acquainted with the moft remarkable rivers, becaufe all towns of any confiderable note are feated thereon, and then thole that fall thereinto, and the places they pals by, as alio in what manner any town is feated with relped to others in the fame country, of which a particular map ihould always be procured. The longitude is always rcckonc.l from Ferro one of the Canary iQands, according to the bell French maps, which arc far more accurate tliiin any done in iingland. It is ear- ned _.'4 vi P R 1'. FACE. nal on cnftward all round the globe, iind if you wantthe dillVrcnce of the loncritude of any place from London, it is only fubllradin- thc^-aft number from the i^reutcfh I'hus 1 ondon is 17 degrees 35 minutes eaft ot Perro, and Rcrim h ii 7. Subllraa the former from the latter, and you will find that Brrlin is more eaftcrly than London i ^ 32. The longitude of Ldinburnh is 14. ,S5> ^^^^^ '^ '^''^ ^'^'^^ ihatof London, and therefore more vvefterly by jhrce de- irvcc'u Likewife by lubdraaing tlie longitude ot London tmm'thatof any oiher j hex, you will have the lon'i;itude of that place in our Englil> r.iaj.s.

In the detVriptions of the empires, countries, provinces, dilbicis, counties, cities, ijoroughs, and towns, every re- markable circumllance is taken notice as tar as our room would admit. I have fliewn how each country is bounded, its extent, produ6iions, manufadorie.', forces, the numbers of the inhabitants, manners and religion, at lead as far as I could obtain any certain account. The cliibmces of places in Kngland and Wales, are reckoned according to Englilli ftatute mils, of v.hich there are 69 to a degree -, but every wl\ere elle I iollow the marine meafure of 60 to a degree, and in general this kit is moll convenient, becaufe the gra- duation on the fide of the map, will alv/ays fcrve inllead of a fcale of miles.

I might complain, as others have done before me, of tho difficuhies of writing diftionarics in general, and more par- ticulaily diofe of Geography, on account of thf diflerent orthogr.iphy of the countries and towns •, ihe contradiilions met widi in the befl treatiles of this kind, as wc-.ll as in maps, charts, and the relations of travellers : yet as I was not prcfled into the fervice, but was to all intMits anfl pur- pofes a volunteer, I have no b^tly to blame but mylelf, for entering upon fo laborious a tall:. However, 1 have be. n better enabled to reconcile diffe- rences, to expunge falfuies, and to let a!ide impoficions, from having leen a confiderable part of the world myfelf ; and from having made liich oblervations Xi in fome mea- fure qualify me to judge of pdaccs v.hicli I have not feen. Here you will find no felling of winds, no diabolical con- jurations, no nations of canibals or men-eaten-, nor indeed any thing elle that is fliockin;; to conimon-fenfe, or evident- ly repugnant to the culloms and pradices of other parts of the world •, unlefs the Ifrange accounts of the different ob- ]ecl;s of worlhip may be fo elleemed: but then we find others to ir.atch them in very diilant parts. Thus if we find fome that adore a ily, we fliall meet with others that pay divine honours to a monkey's t(;oth ; fome to a lerpent, others to a tree -, not to mention tiie vaft variety of image worOiip all over the world : and therefore we cannot rejeft iHch extravagant practices, from their leeming abfurdity. It likewife requires fome fliare of judgment to make a proper choice of books of voyages and travels, for there are Icveral extant full of nothing but fabulouji dories.

TH E fclenc: which treats of the difpofition and aflemblagc of all parts of the univerfe, and the relati'tii they have to each other, is culled Cofinography ; that is, a dt^fcription of the world. And, as the univerfe is reprefented by the ccicitiHl and terrcflrial glohcs, it follows from hence that cofniography has two principal parts ; namely A!trono:ny, that takes notice of the heavenly bodies and their motions ; and Geography, which is a defcription of the earth. This la ft part is our principal objed; but, as the ftiuly of the fphere ought ncceflariiy to precede that of geograpliy, it will be j)roper to gain fume knowledge of this part of cofmography before we proceed any farther. Of the Celcjlinl Globe. The cclefiial globe reprcfents the heavens with the ftars, which are dillidguillu'd into the fucd ami wandering, and thefe are called planets. Tlie fixed ftath are bodieS; which rtiine with iheir own native light ; and they are called fixed, bccaufe they always keep the fame diftance with rcfpeil; to each otlicr. According to Ptolemy they have two diftind mo- tions; one which is common to the whole he-avens, by which they turn from cart to weft on tiie poles of the world in twenty-four hours, carry- ing the ftars along with them. They have alfo another motion, accord- ing to him, from weft to eaft upon the poles of the ecliptic ; but this is very How, for it only amounts to a degree in fcventy-two years. How- ever, it is now well known that it is the earth which moves, and not the heavens ; and that it turns about its own axis in twenty-four hours : hence proceeds the apparent diurnal moti')n of the fixed ftars and fcem- ing progrefhvc motion, which is now called the rctrocelfion of the equinoxial points. The planets, or wandering ftars, have received that name from their being fometimes near, and fomelinK"S at a great diftance from each ether. Thefe are opaque bodies, which the fixed ftars are not, but have a light o'l: their ov.n ; infomucli, that now artrononurs look upon them as fo many fuiis v/hich appear fmall on account of their immenfe dillance froin the earth ; and that which is ncarelt it, according to Huygens, is at leail twenty-feven thoufaiul times more diftant than the fun. The i)lanets are generally faid to be feven in number, namely Sa- turn, Jupiter. Mars, Sol, ov the Sun, Venus, Mercury, Luna, or the Alooaj but ths fia) is improperly called a planet, bec?.u(e it is iixcd in b the i ■:^M \. 11 INTRODUCTION. the center of our fyaem ; but Terra, or the earth, iH-rformj the fam« motions v;hich have been attributed to that luminous body ; and the moon is only a fatellite of the earth. The planets m their annual mo- tions always keep within the zodiac, and they Teem to have a double mo- tion like the fixed ftais; but that from welt to eall is viliblc to the raked eye, and is in realiry what it appears to be ; for tiicy all, except the moon, revolve about the fun as their center. I'hey dcfcribe each a crcle, which cuts the ecliptic in different points. Saturn, Ju. piter, and Mars, are at a greater diftance from the fun than the earth, and Mercury and Venus are nearer; upon which_ account ihcy liavc'fenfible pliafo like the moon, Saturn makes its revolution aboi'it the fun in thirty years, Jupiter in twelve. Mars ^ in two, Vc. nus in about feven months and a half, and Mercury in about three months. Venus never wanders more than forty-eight degrees of the edipfic df/lant from the fun, and Mercury only twenty-eight, Saturn is thought to turn upon its own axis, bccaufe he has five fatellitcs, which revolve about him in the faire manner as the moon round the earth; therefore fome give them the name of moons, but we arc uncertain in what time their revolution is made. Jupiter has four fatellites, or moons, the periods of whofe revolutions are now very well known; and by their eclipfes the longitude of places may with certainty be dilcovered. According to Cainni, Jujjitcr turns about his own axis in ten hours, and confequently the days in this planer are five hours long, and the nights as much. Saturn is 980 times bigger than the earth, and Jupiter 1 170 times. Mars only one fifth as big ni the earth ; Venus is of the fame fizc as the earth ; and Mercury is only a twenty- fcvcnth part as big; but the fun is a million of times larger. Mais is thought to itvolve about its own axis in twenty-four hour; forty minutes time; and Veiuis, according to Bianchini, in twenty-four days and eight hours; but, according to the opinion of Callini, it h per- formed iii twenty-four hours and a few jdd minutes. Wlicii this plan:: precedes the fun, Ihe is called Lucifer, or the Morning-lhir ; and when Ihe fets after tji:> fi:u, (lie is named Vefperus, or tlie l"lvcning-f}ar. As for Mercury, we arc not certain whether he turns about his ow:; axis or not. 0/ the Su'i, Tht :hn, or rather the earth, is more regular in its tnotions than a- of the other planets; <.■ at Icaft, according to appearance, he coiitiiniali> moves in the ecliptic ciicle, and never wanders from it. The circle dc- fcribed by his daily motion is parallel to tlu; equator; and his apogee i^ abo.'^ the fevenili degive of Cancer, at which point he is at the greattf; diltance from the earth.

To foh'c tliif difficulty INTRODUCTION. iii difinculty, it muft be obfcrvcd that in the wimc; the fun h elevated much lefs abuve the horizon than in the fummer, and confequently, that his rays fall more obliquely on tliat part of the furfiioc of the earth which we inhabit. Befides, he continues a much (hortcriiinc above the horizon. He advances about a degree every day from wefl to eaft by his own pro- per motion; and as there are 360 degrees in t'le ecliptic, he palfes thro' them in 365 days, 5 hours, and 49 minutes. Hence the connnon year confiftsof365 days; and the remaining hours and minutes make about a day in four years ; for which rcafon in that fjjace one yiar is called Bilfextile, and confiftsof 366 days. But, becaufj this is eleven minutes too much for every year, they amount in 400 yenrs to three whole days ; for which reafon aftronomers have judged proper to retrench tlirce days in every 400 years, and to leave out the Billextile the firll year of every century. Upon this account the year 1700, according to the New Stile, was not Bifle.xtilenomore than the years iSoo and 1900 will be. 0/ ihi Moon. Though the moon feenis to be much greater than all the other planets, except the fun, it is neverthelefs the kail of all ; and that which makes her appear fo huge, is becaufe fl»e is nnuh nearer the earth ; for flie is only 60 diameters of the earth from it in liei' apogee a!id 56 in her p-e- rigec. She is no more than equal to a fiftieth part of' the globe of the earth. 'Jlie moon is an opatjue body, having no light but what flie rc< ceives froni the fun ; and the different manners in whik-i. flie turns to- wards the fun, are the caufcs of what wc call the phafes of the moon, 'I'licfe are generally faid to be four, namely, ihe new and full moon, am! tlie Hrft and lafl quarter. The new mocn is when fhe is in conjunftion \sith tlie fun; and flie bcinr at that time bctwen the fun and the earth, the enlightened part mult be tosvards the fun, and confequently (lie can- not (hinc upon us. But, as flic moves forward from the fun, a portion of the enlightened part will appear to us, which incrcafifig daily till flie has performed a fourth part of her revolution, flic will then arrive at her fiilt quarter. After this flie proceeds till one half of her revolution is performed, and then flic is in the full, and in oppofltion to the fun. Then flic draws nearer the fun again till flic has pafled three parts of her re- volution, and then flic is in her la!t quarter. In the hrft part of her courfe the tnliohtencd fide is towards the well, and in the knter towards the calt. The moon performs lier revolution through the 7odIac in twcnty-fc- ven days and about eight hours; but r/; the fim during tliat time pro- ceeds twenty fevcn dci'recs forward, the mocui mull be about two days in overtaking him ; from whence it follows that from one new moon to another, there arc twenty nine days and twelve hours. 'I'hc lunar year coufilts of twelve of thefe new moons, and the lunar niontlis of twenty nine and thirty days alternately. The whole year contains 3^4 days, and confequently is f '.ven days lefs than the folar year. The Turks and other Mahometans, reckon their time by thefe years, upon which account their hJ^h fcltivals arc always kept at different parts of the folar year. i I) 2 The *^ 1} 4*>-* it m iv INTRODUCTION. Tlie proper iridtlon of tlie moon is in a circle, which cuts tli* eclipdc in tlie points called the Nodes. This circle is a little diflant in tho other parts fr.m the ecliptic, for which rcafon the fi;n is not cclijjRd every full moon ; but only when the i? ncMr her noJ,\. at thofe times. The eclipfes of the moon happen only when fhc is at fill, and likcwife near either of her nodes; for then the earth comes between the fun and the moon, and criilefjiiently the moon will be eclipfcd. The moon happens to be in an eclipfe much oftcner th.an the fun, with regard to a particular place; fir the moon being an opaque body whicli borrows her light from the tun, when the earth hinders lier from being enlightened by the fun, the will appear eclipfed wherever flie is vifihle : but it is not the fame with the fun ; for the moon, being much lefs than he m?y appear eclipl\d to the people in fome parts of the earth, and not in others, This may be readily conceived by putting ont hoop of a hvigllicad ir.to arother; for this v/ill give a true notion of the declination of the orbir, or path of the moon, from the circle of the ecliptic. The mri\ diiiint parts of thefc hoops may be about three or four inches afiidtr; and then one will rcprefcnr the ecliptic, and the other the orbit of the racon ; likcwife, the places where they cut each ether will rcpr-'i-i.t the nodes or the nioon, called tl,c Dragon's Head and Tail, '['he fin* is, when the moon paffes the ecliptic from the foiith to the north; a:(I it is CL;lk-u ihc Alcending or North Nodi', or more ufuaily, tl'.e Drag mi's Head. Tiic 01 her is at the paffage of the moon acrofs fhc e:;liptic, from north to fouth, and is termed the Dofncnding and South Node, or ihe Dragon's Tail. Thefe nories are not fixed, but are continually moving buckuards, and confequtntly are fometimes in one place and lomctimci in aiiiitiirr. On the cdeitia! globe there arcf^fty conf^ellation^ of which twelve are m tile zodiac, and are ca'.lud fig.-is; twcjity-thrce in tl'e north jiait, and f.ttccn in thefo'uth. Aftronomers allow the breadth of the zodiac to be lixteen degree^; that is, eight en the north ilde of the ecliptic, and eight on the fourh.

The jioints h/\ v, liicii it enters and goes out, are called poles, derived fiom a Greek word, fuMiiiying to turn ; becaufe tlie vh"L' machine of the univerfe \t fi!;M>o(cd to tuju upon thefe two points. The Equator is fo nained, hicaiiR it I'.ividea the world into two ecjual pai'ts. It is alfo tailed the equiuo.\ial, becaufe wlieii the fun is in this circle, there is then an cqualiiy uf chiys and nights all over the \\orId ; and hence thefe points are called ih'.- equinoxes. The principal ufj of this circle is to divide the woild into two equal j)ait-i i,ii abc^e, and that in which the artick pule is fouiid, is call.d tiic Noithern half; and that in which the anrartick polo is }!!a:ed, i* the tjoutherii half. T!'e points where tlie ecliptic cuts this circle, are the equinoxes ; for when the !'un comes to 'liiefc, there is an equality of days and ni;;hts in tvery i)art of tiic eaith, exc^-pt uiidir the poks ; lor riien tiie fun be- gins at cither of theic to make a tiay fix moiiilis in length, and a night of the fame duration in the contrary part.

It has been cuftomary for (leograj^hers to eftab!illi a firft Meridian; though this is altogether arbitrary ; Ptr^lemy placed it at the illand of Ferro, which is the moil Weltern c'i the Canaiies ; the French do the fame, and this has lik^wife been obllived in ih^- following Dictionary, bccaule tiic b. (I maps now extant are graduated after that manner ; but the Dutch place it at the pike of Teaeiiii', and others at the Wellcrn Ifiands. As for altronomers, they generally fix theirs at the place wuLre they make their obfervations. The tile of the Meridian in a globe is to fnew when it is noon or midnight at the place to which it is applied ; and to divide the vifible hemifpheie into two parts, natuely, into oriental and occidental. On the fame circle they reckon the grcatelt altitude or elevation of the ftars and plancti above the horizon. It ■it^; VI INTRODUCTION. alfo determines the right afceiifion of the liars upon the equator, and the longitude of places upon the earth ; for they are both nothing more than an ardi of the equator, reckoned with regard to the Itars from the equinoxial colure; and with refpeft to the places upon the earth, from the firft Meridian to the Meridian of the propofed place. It alfo fcrves to determine the declination of the flars, and the latitude of towns ; bolh the one and the other being an arch of the Meridian, counted from the equator to the ftar, or town propofed ; for what is called declination in aftronomy, is the fame as latitude in geography. On this circle ihe elevation or height of the pole is taken, which is an arch of the Meridian, reckoned from the horizon to the pole, and is always equal to the latitude, whofe compliment is the height of the equator above the horizon. Tiie horizon and the meridian taken toge- ther, divide the heavens into four ])arts, of which the firft is the fupc- rior oriental, the fecond the fuperior occidental, the third the inferior occidental, and the fourth the inferior oriental. Of the Horizon. The Horizon is a great circle, which divides the world into two equal parts or hcmifpheres, of which one is fuperior and vilible, and the other inferior and iiiviiible. This circle '■n ;i ;^!obe is the largell of all ; and the mtiidian is iaclofed therein witii all tlio \\i\ of the (phere. Befidcs, it is immoveable, and on the circinnfercnce are niark'd the degrees of the twelve figns of the zodiac, the days of the twelve months of the year, and the thirty-two winds; and tluy are ofcqi:.:! ufc with regard to fpheres and globes. ]n the riaUiral i'plicre, the lIuri/,on is the great circle, that feems to join the earth or fea with the heavens, and which bounds and terminates our fij-i-.r. Each i>ariicnlar place has its liorizon fixed and itnmoveabie, and yet wc change it every itep we take ; however, every one is in the center of his own Horizon. The poles of this circle are in the zenith o;- the point diredly over our beau's, as well as the nadir, which is diredUy oppofite thereto. The Horizon is divided into a rational and fenfible ; the rational h that which may be co;iceived to pais through the centre of the earth, and divide the world into two equal parts, the one the upper, and the other the lower. The fenlible Horizon, though nearly as great as the rational, is, however, named a linall circle, parallel to the furmer which touches the furface of the earth at the very place whereon we ftand ; but It docs not divide the heavens into two equal parts like the rational, and yet the difference between them is almoll infer. fi!)le. The rational Horizon makes feveral angles with tlic Equator, according to the prjfi- tion of different places, and they are likewife di/linguiaied by fcveral names, accordmg to the different pofitions of the fpherc. The Horizon divides the world into two Hemifpheres. as juft obferved ; Jrom whence it follows, that it is always day in the one and iiiMit in tiiC other._ It determines the rifing and fettini: of the ftars, the len° th of c^ay and night, and the beginning of twilight and the dawn of thc^day, both^hich begin when the fun is eighteen decrees below the Horizon, ihelc degrees hkcwife fcrve to determine the duration of twilight and the the dawn tho fun is It alfo d; Meridian place whii the help < there beii In fphe by a great fume brea on the thr fiance, th the middli ing to eve The fpl regard to oblique, p the woilu ; this pofiti( are dividet and nighti tants will bcfides, tt them ; anc firely.

It alfo diltingiiilhcs tho cardinal points of th- world, and where the Meridian and Horl/.on cut each other is the north and fouth : and Hie place which the Horizon cuts the equator, is termt'd calt and well. By the help of thefe the rcmaininc: twenty-eight points art- alio determined, there bciu"- thirty-two in all, as above mentioned. In fphcres and globes, the rational Horizon is generally rcprefented by a "reat circle, into which the grand meridiati enters ; and there is funic breadth allowed, that there may be room to mark feveral things on the three different circles which it generally contains. As for in- ftance, the principal winds, are on that next the outfide ; the months in the middlemort, and on the inncrmoit the figns of the Zodiac anfwcr- ing to every month. The fphero or globe may be placed in three different manners with regard to the Horizon ; from whence comes the diitiaiftion of the right, oblique, parallel and right fphere. The right fphere is when the poles of the v\ oi Ki are in the Horizon, and the zenith and nadir in the equator. In this polition of the fphere, the circle defcribed by the motion of the Am are divided by the Horizon into two equal parts. And in this cafe the days and nights will be always equal throughout the year, and the inhabi- tants will perceive the iv.n pafs twice a year diredly over their heads ; bcfides, there is no part of the heavens that will not become vihhle to them ; and they may perceive all the itars make their appearance futcef- fi»ely. The parallel fplicrc h that wherein the Horizon is parallel to the equa- tor, and whole zenith and nadir are in tlic poles of the world. I;i this pofition of the f[)herc, one half of the cclii)lic will always be above the Horizon, and the other lialf !)e!ow it. This is the cafe of thofe who live direftly under the poles ; ibr they will fee the fun for fix months together above the hori/oi!, and he will be fix months below it, as has been before hinted at, and confcqujntly the day will continue fix months without reckoning twili^^h.r, which will continue four montlis ; for after that begins the fun, which will be two months in ufcending to the Ho- rizon, if to thefe four months of twilight, arc added the light of the inoon during tiie two niuut'is of entire night, the length of its appear- ance, which will be one month In the whole, the inhabitants will have but a fingle month of entire night ; becaule this luminary in that time pertorms two of its rotations round the earth, and they will fee it fliine during a fortnig'nt each time. Befidcs, fome ii^gci;ious authors have affirmed, that tlie twll'ght is much greater at or near the poles, than in any other part of the earth. And if fo, thefe people will have the much gieatell part of the year the benefit of light of one kind or other ; though it is certain they never can fee above one half of the heavens. The oblique f;)here is that which has an oblique Horizon ; and in this pofition of the fphere, all the circles v.'ill be cut unequally by the Hori- 7.on, except the equator. This pofition agrees to all people that inha- bit any part between the ec^uator and the poles, for which reafon there arc ^... INTRODUCTION. are no eq.nl days and nights in any place, except at the time of th= e quinoxe;; and a.nfequ.ntly. thranghont all the reft ot the year. th. "Ltl. of the day will be greater or lef. than the .ught. Th.s mequa^ lit;'of the days and nights is. becaufc the.r Hon^on cuts the du.rna circles of the Am into unequal parts ; and the .nhah.tants wdl fee a part of the heavens more or Ids great, according as the pole is more or lets elevated above the Horizon. , • , , Th^' two colures are two great circles that cut each other at right aneles to the poles of the world. One of fhefe is named the equinoxial coUirc becanfe it paiL's by the two Cations of the equator and ecliptic, that mai k the points of tlie equinoxes. The other is termed the lollli- tial coUire, becaufe it cuts the equator in the points called the lolftices. The firll of thefe happens when the Am begins to touch Aries, or Libra, and the fccond when he enters Cancer and Capricorn. Thefe two circles ferve to divide the heavens into four parts, and the year into four feafoMS. 1 ,- -I , The tropics arc two fmall circles parallel to the equator, dercribed by the fiilt points of the lirft degrees of the figns tenned Cancer and Capriooni, that i.,-, wh:re they touch the ecliptic. They aro^ dillmc from the equator very near twenty-three degrees and a half. The fun deferlbes thefe tropics about the 20th day of Jun;, and the 2 ill day of September. When he touches the tropic of Cancer he makes the long, eft day for tlie inhabitants between the equator and the north pole; and when h: comes to the beginning of Capricorn he makes the loiigefl day tor the people between the equator and the fouth pole. On the contrary, the fnorteli day to the former will be when the fun touches the tropic of Cajiricorii, and to the latter when he comes to the tropic of Can- cer. For tliis reafiin, thefe points are called the winter and the fum- mcr tropics, as alio the fonthcrn and northern ; and they are as it weie the two barriers beyond which the Am never pafl'es. They in- clude that part of the earth uAially termed the torrid zone ; and they n;arl; upon the Horizon the four collateral points-, which are the fum- ni?r eafr and vveli, and the eaft and weft of winter. Likewife the tiifu'ieiice from the fame points determiiies the Am's greateft amplitude of riung and fitting. The two polar circles are dillinguinicd by the names of the artick and antartick ; and they are circles parallel to the equator, dffcribcd by the |)oles of the ecliptic, about thofe of the world, by the revolution of the primum mobile, or firft mover. They are termed polar, bccaull' they include thi: poles of the zodiac in their circumference, or rather, becaufe they are near the poks of the world. They fervc to bound ihc fri-id and temperate zones, and include the fpace of the frigid zones, co-nprthended between thofe circles and the poles of the world. And likcwif' they include, with the two tropic;!, the two temperate zones. Tiicy alio mark on the two colures, the interval comprehended between the poles ot the world and the poles of the ecliptic, which is equal to the g;eateft declination of the Am, that is, 23 degrees and 29 minutes. 1 he two tropics, afid the two polar circles together, divide the heavens and earth into five zones or bauds; namely, Uic torrid, the two tempe- rate, bte, and torrid zon circles juft; Tuch as th Jame ; tht and declin 0/i As the which geo ferred to fphere ; fo zodiac, its regard to The tw( which the earth is lik to that in circle on tl vans.

As the fun, as well as the heavens, feems to turn about the earth, which geographers place in the center of the world, they have trans- ferred to the terreftrial globe the greateft part of the circles of the fphere ; for which reafon the earth has its poles, its axis, its equator, its zodiac, its meridian, its horizon, its tropics, and polar circles; but with regard to the colurcs, they have rejeded them as nfelefs. The two poles of the earth are the two points of the furface through which the axis of the world is fuppofed to pafs ; and the axis of the earth is like a line drawn through the center of the earth, corrcfpondont to that in the heavens. The equino.Kial line, or equator, is a great circle on the furface of the globe, over-againft the equator in the hea- vens. It cuts the globe into two equal parts, the one north and the other fouth. The zodiac of the earth is a great circle, which anfwers to the zodiac in the heavens, or rather the ecliptic, and is divided into twelve figns. Its greateft diftance from the equator is 23 degrees 29 minutes, as above. Its tropics arc lefler circles at the fame diftance from the equator, and the polar circles are thofe of the fmall kind, at the like diftance from the poles. The horizon is a great circle which divides the globe into two hemifpheres, the upper and the lower, as has been already obfervcd. The horizon of the globe may become the ho- tizon of any particular people ; and what is called placing the globe horizontally, is to make the horizon of the globe become the horizon of the place ; which is done by putting the place under the grand meri- dian, and elevating the pole above the horizon to the fame height as the latitude of the place. The meridian is a great circle which pafles by the globes of the tcr- i-eftrial globe, and cuts the horizon at the north and fouth points. Each people has its different meridian, as before-mentioned ; and the meri- dian dvidcs the globe into tv/o parts, the one eaftern and tlie other wef- tern. The firft meridian, as has been before obferved, is arbitrary, and may he placed where-ever a perfon pleafes ; but let it be placed where- foever it will, the longitude of a place is the diftance between the firft meridian and the meridian of the place ; or otherwife it is the arch of the parallel comprehended between the firft meridian and the meridian of the place. The latitude of a place is the diftance between the zenith of that place and the equator, and it is either north or fouth. It may alfo be faid to be the elevation of the pole of the place above the horizon Tbui with regard to London, as the arch of the parallel comprehended between the firft meridian and the meridian of London is the longitude, it follows from thence that the degrees of longitude ftiould be reckoned upou pamllel circles.

Of ihi Climates. A climate is a fpaec of tlie earth compreliendcd lutwccn two parallels, at tlie end of which tiie leiiL^th of the longell d,i)s are liu'rcafed half an hour in the funimer feafon. The better ti» underiland this we mult oblerve, that under the equator the greatelt day is no more than twelve hours, aiid that, in proportion as we ailvance towards fh.e p.olar circles, the days ot each ciimate cncreafe half an hour till v.e a: rive at the polar circles ; for tlien the lono/^if days conliii: of twemy-iu'.ir hours. Thus thei e IS 0.1 t'.'.e.Ky-roiu' cllniat.s hi all on each fide oi tlio cuiator. •X (• Z Some, aner this. m m m ^,1 INTRODUCTION, this talk of climates of months ; but this is fo ufelffs a difHnaion. that h s not worth the reader';; notice. However, it w.ll not be .mproper to obferve, that the fpaces of the half-hr.ir climates, if they were marked on the globe, would become narrower as they advanced mar the polci, It is eafy to know in what climate a city is, by obfervmg the lonocd day , as for inftancc. at London, where the days are fixtecn hours long, we need only fubftraft twelve from the number, and there will remain four; then multiply this by two, and you will have cif;hr, which is the climate of London. The fame may be done for any other climate. 0/ihe Opcrationi wjub may be ftrformtJ, nvith the ajjijlanci of a Glole. To reaify the globe for a particular place, fuch as London, the north pole muft be elevated to the fame height : as for inftancc, 5 1 degrees 30 minutes, in the fame manner as has been already taught, and then Loudon nniil be placed under the grand meridian. And here it may be obfervcd, that the number of degrees to which the pole muft be ele- vated, is always equal to the latitude of the place. To find the longi- tude and latitude of a place, you muft turn the globe till it comes un- der the grand meridian, and tlien ftick the point of a needle perpendi- cularly over it, and it will mark the latitude at the meridian, which will determine its longitude on the equator. To find the place of the fiin on an appointed day ; as for inftance, the eighteenth of Augult, fcek this day on the horizon, and you will find it anfwcr to the ;3d degree of Leo, in the circle of the figns. Af- terwards feekfor the fame degree in the zodiac of the globe, and that will he the place of the fun on the eighteenth of Auguft; that is, the fun will be in that degree of the celeilial zodiac, which an- fwers to that of the tcrrcftria! zodiac. To find on whatday the fun paiTes perpendicularly over a place in the torrid zone, you n.uft obferve whether it be in that zone or not. Suppofe the place to be Goa, which lies in the i6lh degree of north latitude, you muft put it under the grand meri- dian, and turn the globe about, and kc what degrees of the zodiac will pafs under this latitude; 2nd you will find two, namely, the thir. teenth degree of Taurus, and the feventcenth degree of Leo ; then when the fun comes to the thirteenth degree of Taurus, that is, on the 3d of May, and to the 17 th degree of Leo, on the uth of Auguft, it will be perpendicular at Goa. To know tlie rifing and fetting of the fun on a propofed day ; as for inftancc, on the 15th of May at Paris, elevate the pole 48 degrees 50 minutes, and then feek the place of the fun on ♦he 15th of May, which will be in the 24'h degree of Taurus. Put this place under the grand meridian, and the horary needle to the fouth. Turn the globe towards the eaft till the 24th degree of Taurus touch the horizon ; do the fame veftcrly, and obferve the hour on the horary quarter, and you will fee for the morning four hours and a half, and feven hours and a half for the evening. By thcfe means you may know the length of the dav ; tliat is. by adding feven hours and a half to feven hours and a half, Hnd that will give fifteen hours, BcHdes, the number of half hours more than twelve will fhew what climate the place lies in; but it will not be improper Improper t( thofe that To knov for lnftanc( muft put P fouth ; tur grand mcr The globe of fifteen d of the eart London, y only a con The can which are between th know the i for fome ai occidental, France ; ai fouth of El We may are cardin likewife li( aftly fouth France ; a caft, with countries.

To know what hour it is at one place when it is noon r.t another ; ai for inflancc, what hour it Is nt Vienna when it is noon at I'Hri?, you muft put Paris under the grand meridian and the horary needle on the fouth ; turn then the globe towards the weft till Vienna comes under the grand meridian, and the needle will flicw what hour it is afrer noon. The globe is turned that way, bccaufo Vienna lies to th»* call, fhe fjjare of fifteen degrees, crone hour. To knoiv what hour it is in any part of the earth, at any hour propofed as eight o'clock in th? morninj; at London, you muft proceed as you did before, this propofition beitij; only a coiifc^ucncc of the former. Of the Poiats of the Compels. The earth may be confidered with regard to the four cardinal point-;, which are the north, fouth, eaft and weft ; and all the points included between them may have relpe(5l to a particular plkcc. By this means we know the fituation of the countries of the world, with regard to each other; for fome are oriental, or towards the eaft. with regard to thofc that are occidental, or lie weiterly of them. Thus England is to the weft ol' France; and Poland is to the eaft of Germany; as alfo Africa Is to the fouth of Europe. We may eafjly diftlnguifti the points thar lie between thofe that are cardinal ; thus, though Spain is to the fouth of France, yet it likewife lies to tho wcftward thereof ; but as they do not lie cx- aftly fouth or weft of each other, Spain may be faid to lie fouth-wcft of France ; and for the fame reafon, on the contrary, France will be norrh- eaft, with regard to Spain. The like may be faid of any two other countries. For the more readily finding upon the terreftrial globe the fituatloa of places, with refpedl to the four cardinal points, you muft con- fider that the equator, and the circles of latitude parallel thereto, ])rc- cife'y mark the places that are oriental and occidental of each other ; and that the meridians will readily difcover thofe that lie north and fouth of each other. Thus all places lying under the equator, or any of its pa- rallels, are eaft and weft of each other, and thofe that are feated nnd;;r the fame meridian, are north and fouth one of another. But all other places that are not feated in this manner, decline from the four cardinal points either more or lefs. The circumference of the horizon is divided into thirty-two equal parts, by as many circles of pofition ; and thefe fame circles will reprcfent the thirty-two winds that are of fo great ufe in navigation. Thefe winds are diftinguiftied into the four principal or cardinal, four feconds, eight thirds, and fixteen fourths. The four principal are the eaft, weft, north, and fouth ; and the eaft and weft are the two points of the rifing and fetting of the fun on the days of the equinoxes. Thefe are called car- dinal winds. The four fecondary winds are by fome called collateral, lying exaflly between the four former, and with them divide the horizon into eight equal m ,:y INTRODUCTION'. eoual part^ Tiicy tp.ke their names from the former; for that vvu.Vh 5s between the north and c^ft is called the Xorth-caft ; that bctivccn the north and weft is named the Nortli-well ; between the fouth and eaii, theSouth-eaft; and that between the fouth an' we/t the South- weft'. Thefe are the eight piincipal winds. The eight tliat aru of the third fort lie between the former, and take their names fi oni thence. Tiius i'or that which is between the north and north-eaft is called the North, North-caft; and that between the louth and Ibuth eaft is called South, South-eaft ; and fo ct the reft. Tiie llxteen reniaiiiing winds divide the former into two equal parts, and their names are likewife derived from them. Thus thofe which lie jicar- el\ the lour cardinal; as for in^ance, between the north and the north, north-welt, is termed North and by Weft : the next beyond the north, north-weft, is called North-weft and by North; that whieii follows beyond the north-weft is called North-weit by Weft; afid, laftly, tliat after well: nortli-vvefr, is termed Weft and by North. Thele are the names which are in one quarter of the conipafs ; from whence the reft may readily receive their proj)er denomii:ations. 0/ the llccfurcs made ufc cf in Geography. The diftance of places i? meafured by an arch of a great circle of tlie tcrrcftrial globe, by means of which the lunnber ol" degrees between one place and another may i)e readily known ; and thcfc degrees being multiphed by the number of leagues, or miles, each degree contains, ac- cording to tiic cnftom of vhe country where any one hap})eii!, to be, the produd will tlicw how Jiiaiiy leagues or miles arc contained in this diftance. Thus there arc 60 marine or Italian miles in one degree ; which is the fame thing as 20 marine leagues, 'i'he Englilh inca- fured or Ibtute miles require about 69 and a quarter to make a degree. The Ruflian werft or wuili: contains 3504 Knglilh feet, and there is about one hundred and four or five to a degree. Tliei'e are .ibout 56 Arabian miles in a degree, and 25 coujmon French Leagues; but the great Frencli leagues are the fame as the maiine. Fifteen Geruian miles make a degree, and about 19 Dutch miles. I'oliih ituIls arc the fame as the marine leagues ; bur there arc feventeen aiul a halt Spaniili marine leagues in a degroc. Common computed Scotch miles arc 40 in a de- gree, as well as the Irifn; and there are 10 tlungarian miles in ilic fame Ji>ace. There are 12 Swedilh and Danilh leagues in a degiee ; and thole of Switzerland arc of the fame length. An Indian kois'is of the fame length as a common French league; but there are only \z gos to a ^.^ixtz in the fame country. Eefides thefe fettled nicafurcs, there are others, called by fome ftations, and of thefe there are three in a do- gree; ftages or days journeys have o/dy two in the fame fpacc.

INTRODUCTION. ^•v Inftancc, Yorkfliire, Topography is the defcrip.tion of a particular place, flb a town, and the like. Hydrography is a defcription of the w^ver, fuch as oceans, (eas, and lakes. As the earth inay be rej)rercnted either in the whole, or in part, thence comes the difl'erence between iJcographical charts or ?nap", which however may be reduced to two kinds ; namely, general and particular. Among the former, is the map of the world, or planilphere, wliich iliews the two furfacesof the whole rerreftiial globe, which is, as it were, cut ia two by the firft meridian ; as alfo the ma[)s which defcribe fome prin- cipal part of the globe ; fuch as Enro|)e, Afii, Africa, u.id Amer'ca : and even kingdoms ; as for inftance, I'oland, Spain, Italy, Great Britain, and the like. However, thofe maps may b.' c:'lled particular, whicii rcpre- fciit any particular country ; but they are more properly fuch as give ati account only of a part, as Naples in Italy, Nonnandy in Fnnce, and Staffordfliire in England. After all, nothing can give a better or more general idea of the earth than a globe, becaufe it is of the fame fliape and figure ; but as it is impoilible to make one large enougli to fliew ^\'i\-w j^art of the earth and fea diftindly, there is a nccelfity of having rccourfe ta general aiul particular maps. Geograpliy, as well as other arts and fcicnces, lias terms proper to itfelf; fome of which have relation to the earth, and othi-is to the water. A continent, callcil by fome Terra FInna, is a large part cf the earth, which comprehends fcveral cotmtrics that are not fejiarated by iiny fea j thus Europe is a continent. An illaiid, or ifle, is a portion of tlic carrh entirely Hirro'inded -.vlth water. A peninfula, or cherfonef?, is a quantity of laivd which is onlv joined to a continent by a neck of the lame, it being eveiy wlicre tilt? encompaficd with water. An iflhmiis, or .'icckofland, is that part by which a pcninfuia i- joined to ;!ie land, as the ifthmus of Suez and Daiien, A promontory is a high ])art of land, whii.-h advances orftretchcs intc< the fea, and i^ commonly called a cape, when it appears like a mountain ; but when tlie advanced j-^art has little elevation, it i-. termed a point. Thus the Cape of Good Hope is a mountainous promontory. An ocean is a largecolledlion of waters furroundinga confiderable part of the continent; ftich as the Atlantic and Northern Oceans. A fea is a fmnllcr coUcdion of waters, when iindentood in a ftrift fenfe, as the Britilh and Irilh Seas ; but, in general, every pari of the ocean may be called the fea; and it is liill more general, when the ter- raqueous globe is faid to con fill of land and fea. A gulph is a part of the fea furroir.idcd witli land, except in one part, where it communicates with the ocean; as the Gulph of Bcn^;!, the Gulph of Florida; and yet ihefe are m.c.e properly feas thai; the Me- diterranean, th'- Ballick, and riie Black Seas, whicli, properly Ijr.a'/mg arc Giilphs, as well as the Gulph of Venice. A bay ij la;.! to ditfer tiom a gu'ph only in being IjI's, anduMic naiiow ui the eiiir:uiec than within; bi'.t this is far iro/.i b.iuj mie, Iwr i M m i '.h ,vi I N T R b U G T I O N. for a bay has a wider entrance In proportion than a gulph ; and it may be alfo larmier than Ibtne giilphs ; as for inllance, the Bay ofBifcay; tho' it nuid be acknowledged bays in general are much fmaller. A creek is a fmall inlet, and is always much lefs than a bay. A road is a place upon any coaft where there is good anchorage, and where veflels, in fome fenfc, are fhcltcred from the wind. A Itrait is a narrow paflage which joins two feas, two gulphs, or a fea and a gulph; fuch as the Sound, near the Baltic ; and the ftraits of Gihralt.ir, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. A lake is a colleftion of landing water furrounded by land, having no vifible communication with the fca. Thus the Caf- pian Sea is truly and properly a lake ; and there is another near ir, called the Lake of Aral, which has hardly ever been taken noMce of by former geographers, it being but a late difcovery. It is about one tliird as big as the Cafpian fea, and feveral rivers are now known to run into it, wliich by former writers were faid to fall into the Cafpian fea. Smaller lakes are thofe of Ladoga, Geneva, and feveral others to be mentioned hereafter. A river is a ftream of water that has its fource from a fpring, which ■always keeps running till it falls into fome other river, or into the fea. A central Account of the mcjl rtmarkabk Parts of the Terrejirial Globe. The terreftrial globe, as has been already obferved, may be divided into two parts ; namely, the land and the fea. The land contains the old world, the new, and the parts unknown. The ancient world includes the continents and the illands. The continent contains Europe Afia and Africa. '^ * ' In Europe, towards the north is Denmark, Norway, Sweden Muf covy or Ruina. About the middle, from weft to eaft, France Ger many, Bohem,., Hungary, and Poland.

More towards tail are the ifles of Formofa and rhole of lapan.and in the McdiuTiancan, arc Cyprus and Rhodes. Tlieiilands oi Africa, in the Atlantic Ocean, are the Canaries, the iflands of Cape (le Verd, of St. Thomas, Afcenfioii, and St. Helena. To the en!l of Airica are M.ulagafcar, the Ifle of JJourbon, Mauritius, and the illantls of Co:nora. I'he AVti- //or/^/ contains the continent and the ifles. The continent is flivicied into North and South America ; and the no; thern part comprehends Canada, New F.nglaiid, Maryland, Virc,inia, Nova Scotia, New Jerfcy, Penfvivania, Carolina, Georgia, and the other part of Florida: add to the(e, New ivlexico, California, and Mexico, or New Spain. South Ame- rica comprehends Terra Firma, or Golden Cartile, Peru, Brazil, Para^'uay, Chili, and Terra Mugtlianica. The iflands to the weft or the South Sea, are thnfe of Solomon, and many others, n-liofe to the eaft, from north to foutb, are Newfoundi;md, the Weftern Iflands, the Luccays, and the Carribce Kbmds ortlie Wift Indies. The illnnds and land towards the North Pole, fome parts of which are rot fully difcovcred, arc Greenlaii ';, Spitzbergen, and Nova Zembla. 'J'hofe places between tlie equator and the fouilurn Pole, not fully dif- covcred, are New Guinea, New Britain, Carpentaria, and New Holland. Near th-; Sonih of America ii Terra del Fuego, and feveral other places. The principal ifthmus's of the world are, the iftlniius of Corinth, which joins iheMoiea, fornieily Peloponncfus, with Greece : the iflhmus of Pre- coj), that joins Little Tartnry to CrimTartary. The moft remarkable' illlimus in Afia, is that of TcneflTerim, which unites tlic pcniiifula of Malacca with the kingdom of Siam inlndia beyond the Ganges. in Atrica is one extremely remarkable, already mentioned, which is the jfthmus of Sue/,, that joins Afia to Africa, and is about 75 miles over. Ditfercni nionarehs wire formerly tempted to join the Ocean with the Mediterranean, by cutting a canal acrofs. Some pretend they aban- doned this work for fear the lower part of Egypt Ihould be hid under water. In America the j)rinci[vil ifthmus is that of Panama, which joins the north part of An. erica tu the fouib. Of the Sea. The fea is divided into that which furroimds the continents and the interior; that is, that which is alaiolt cifclokd and furruunded by the coniinint. That of ttic Old Continent has four different names, according to the four ciidinal parts of thi- world ; namely, the Nortliern or Frozen Ocean, the Kadern or Indian Ocean, the South or Ethiopic Ocean, and the Wef- tern or Arl-r-.ticOoean. 'I'hc exterior fea of the nc.v continent prefcrves the general name of Sea, viz. thai ol the North, which waflv."; the taftvrn part of America ; and 4 th« l-fl m •If;; '^ xvlii INTRODUCTION. the South Sea, or Pacific Ocean, which is between Ada and America, and is to the weft of the luft. The interior (e:is of our continent arc the Meditcrrancin, the Bahic Sea, the White Sta, or Gulph of Rulli;i, bcfu-cen Fifilnnd ;uKi the port of Archangel ; the Black, orEuxine Sta ; the Sea of Marmora, formerly the Propontis; the SeaofZabarh, or Azoph, aiiticiitly the Pahis Mco- tis, near the Black Sea ; the Cafijian Sea, which i< wove properly a lake ; the Red Sea, cr the Arabian Gnipli ; tiie Guljih oi i'eilia, between Ara- bia and Perfia. The interior Tea*!, near America, arc the VcrmilHon Sea, near California ; the Gulph of St. Lawren^T, near Newfoundland ; and the Giilph of Mexico, between North and South America. The principal guljihs in the world arc, the Mediterranean Sea, the Hal- tic Sea, and the White Sea in Rnrope, In Afia there are the Gulpli of Bengal, the Perfian Gulph, and the Arabian Gulph, rommonly, but im- properly termed the Red Sea ; for that known by that name to the an- cic-^ts, is the fea to the fnurh of Arabia.

Under thei'e two archbilliops there are twcnry four biiiiops ; that is, twenty-one in the province of Canterbury, and three in the province of York. Thefe have all the title of lords, on account of the baronies an- nexed to the bilhopiic; atui they take place of all other baron?, as well in parliament as in other allch^blies.

'"'Th^rourtofl).le..rcs is fo called, bccnufc it confifts of comn^oncn delI!lX appiintell by .he royal commi.r.oa ; but U .s no itano.ng court Hendesthcfe. every biOiop has a court of his own. which is hcM in the .f/nr! of hi dioccfc and s called the Confillory-courr. L.kew.Jo. every I'htin has hi: c^urt as well as the dean and chapter ot every c. ihcdral. . . Of the Vavhamcn'. cf Grcat-Bittain. Thisaueuft body confifts of two l.oufes, one of 'vhich is r:.i!..i the houfe of lords, and the other t.e honle of cmnH.ns. Lc.orc the cnion the Iwnfe of lords conf.fted of the fpirituul and temporal peers ot England; and the houfe of commons of 5 . 3 knight., burg, lies ami c.ti- zens But fincc the union, there arc fixrecn peers ot Scutiaiul added to the houfc of lords, and 45 commoners to the houfe of c^ nmon^. I he firfl of thefe are chofeii before the fitting ot every new parliament, by the peers of Scotland, out of their own body. The defign of parliaments is to maintain the conflitution, to iupport the dignity of the crown, and to keep inviolable the privileges ot the peo- ple. They are alfo to raife fubfidies, to make laws, and to rcdrefs all public grievances. The power of calling a parliament, and of adjour- ning and proroguing the fame, is entirely lodged in tlie fovLivign. The fitting ot the parliament is appointed by the king's piodan-.ation, with the advice of the privy-council ; and in chufing a new one, writs are iflued out by the lord chan'cellor to the lords, to appear at the time and place appointed. Writs are alfo fent to the Ihcritf's of every county, com- manding them to fiimmon the cledlors, to chuf.- as many knights, citi- zens, and burgeffes, in their refpedivc counties, as are to fit in the houfe of commons. The writs for Scotland are diretlled to the privy council, tor fummoningthe 16 peer?, and for clewing the 45 members. No judge, llieriff, or clcTgyman, can be cicdted ; and no gentleman, iinlefs he has 600 1. a year. Formerly parliaments met at dilVcrcnt places in the kingdom ; but of late they afTcmble at Wcftminftcr, at what was formerly called St. Stephen's chapel. When the king comes to parliament, thcufher of the black rod is or- dered to call the commons up to the houfe of lords, where they ftand with- out the bar, and the king commands them by the lord chancellor, tochufe one of the members for their fpeaker, and to prefent hirii fuch a day. The choice being made by a majority of votes, at the day appointed, he is pre- fented to the king in the houfe of lords, between two members for his approbation. The lord chancellor, or keeper for the time being, is al- ways fpeaker for the houfe of peers. Since the reformation, no Roman catholic can fit in either houfe, till he has firft taken the oaths. Though the number of the houfe of cowimons is fo -ifreat, vet too arf commonly reckoned a full houfe; and there can be no bufincfs done if there are lefs than forty. At the firll meeting of the parliament, they al- ways appoint ftanding grand committees, for privileges, cledlions, griev- ances, tiade, and religion.

Upon tiie rt( ind leadiii;;, if none ("peak againfl the bill, and feveral fur ii, the I'j.eakcr may put the(jiiellioii for engroliing it. Wlten debates arife upon the fecond rcaditig, and they nrr« over, the honfe connnonly calls for committing the bill to the committee of the \A\'Ac honfe, or to a felett cotimiitice. Sometimes it may liai>i,".n, the bill may be recommitted before the fpcakcr puts the qiicfi:.!) for eii- groding. .After a bill has been cngrolfed, it is to be read a ihirvl time, in order to have it palled. But when any debate ha|)p'.i)s after it h over, the fpeaker holds the bill in his hand, and fays, As Piiany as are of opinion that this bill Ihould pals, fay yea; and as many as are of the contrary opinion, fay no. Upon which he informs the honfe, whether the vca's or no's have it. Cut when the thing is doubtful, two tellers ;;re ap- pointed for each fide, one to number the yea's and the other the no's; however, the quelfion is firft put, which of thefe lliall go out of the honfe, and this is called dividing the honfe. After the numbering them is over, the tellers declare to the fj)eakcr the number of yea's and no's ; upon wh'ch all rerinn to their places If the no's have it, the bill is faic ro pafs in the negative. But if it palTes in the afhrmative, they order it to be fent to the honfe of lords for their concurrence. When a bill is fent by the lords to the commons, they fend none of their members, but only mailers in chancery, who deliver the bill to the fpeaker. When there is a difagreement in the houfes about a bill, a conference is demanded, which is held in the Painted-chamber. In voting in the hcufe of lords, they begin with the lowcif baron, and I'o proceed to th'j Inghelt peer; who each forhimf.lf, fays Content, or Not conteiit ; and if the voices are equal, the negative carries it. After an adjourn - ment of either honfe, they may refume the buhnefs they were upon, but after a jirorogation they cannot, for then the feilions is cnd>.d. Kveiy one knows that after the difiblulion of the old parliament, a new one muil be elcdted in tlic manner mentioned above. 0/ //a' Cc:!>ts rf Jif^/Jice.

It was formerly very clofc built, and very populous, as ap- pears from the ruins of the houfes ; but at prcfcnt ihey tiand widely difl.int tronn each other : they are all built with clay- walls, and covered with reeds, itraw, or leaves, ha-.ing no rtonc In the country. The women here are kept greatly in ful'jciftion ; for, befidcs their lioufliold affairs, they are obliged to keep the markets, and till the ground.

The river of IJeiiin IS extremely large and wide at the intH'th ; but liow f.ir it extends up the country, is not ceiiainly known. The land about it is low and mardiy, and its banks arc adorned with great numbers of trees : upon this account it is pcftertd with great numbers of muf- quitoes, wliich arc extremely trouble- fome to rtran^'crs, and Aing th.em fo fe- v'.iely, that their faces cc^n hardly be L'l'.own by thc:r acquaintance.

T!iey take care to heej) their wi^es from their own countrymen ; but they are lb far from jealoufy cf the Eurojjeans, that they will often brinj thorn into their company, and leave thcni behind. If a recroe lies witli another man's w fe, if lie'is found out, he forfeits all liis gocdi to the hulband, and the wife is (luniflied feverely with .i cudgel. The cuacm oi tirtunicinon is hore univerfally pradlifed, though there is no other re.ifcu to be given f^'r ir, than that their anceAors have dene it before them. The ;;ovein- ment of this country is veAcd in the king, ai'd three ;;ieat men under him ; and each province ha^ its particular go- vernor. They have a fort of religion ; but it is fo ahfurd and perplexed, that it is .alniofl nnpolhble to defnibe it: however, it is certain that every thing that is extraoidii ary, is elleenicd as a god, and they make olferings to it accord- ingly. Thefe are lometimcs a few boiled yams mixed witii oil, which they lay be- fore the im.ages : fometimes they offer a wk; but then the idol mud be content C(. witli the blood, for they eat the flcfh themfelves. They have a fort of a Sab- bath every fifth day, which the great men obferve by killing cows, flieep, and goats ; and others are contented with dogs, cats, and chickens : but whatever is th.n killed, is diflributed to the poor. The animals are the fame here as in other ])arts cf Guinea, as well as tliC refl of the prod-clicns of th.is cc untry. They have fome forts of manufadtures, and are particularly ikilful in weaving and dying, their cloths being made of cotton, which grows here in gre.it plen- ty ; and tlicy export many thoufands of them every year to other places.

Doctors Commons is not far from St. I'aul's, and is a fpacious, com- modious ftrufture, with I'cveral hand- fome courts, where the judges of admi- ralty, court of delegate*, court of arches, &.C. meet. Near it is the herald's col- lege, to which belong three kings at arms, namely. Garter, Clarencieux, and Norroy, with fix heralds, four purfui- vants, and eight prodlors. It is a fpa- cious building, with convenient apart- ments, a good library relating to heral- dry, and the coats of arms are kept of all the families of note in England, Near Temple Bar are the inner and middle temple, which are both inns ot court, for the fludy of the law. Th« Temple churcli vas founded at firft by the Knights Templars, in 1185, and it is now one of the molt beautiful Go- thick flrudures in England.

The fcreen or fence is eiuirely bra^s, and wiihin ate the fij^ures of Henry VII. and his queen, of folid brafs, jrilt with gold : hut the magnificent monuments in the abbey are fo numerous, iliarit would lequire a vo- lume to defcribc them.

SwtntN, a large kingdom, in the N. part of Europe, bounded on the N. by Danifh Lapland, and by the ocean, on the S. by the Baltick Sea, and the Gulph of Fin- luid, and on the W. by Norway, the Sound, and the Catagate, being about £00 miles in length, from N. to S. and 350 in breadth, from ¥.. to W. It is divided into Proper Sweden, Gothland, Kordland, Finland, and Lapland. It was anciently called Scandinavia, or at lealt it is part of tlie country of that name. We may ealily conceive that the climate is not every wh.re the fame ; for on the (ide of Mufcovy, the longefl day is 18 hours, 30 minutesj but farther towards the N. and near the Pole, there is but one day and one night throughout the year. In the province in which StocU- liolm is feated, the fpring nncl autumn is fcarce to be perceived, for the winter continues 9 tii>'nths, and the fuinnier during tile remaining three. In -.vintv r the cold ijS excefi'ive, and in fummei tiie heat IS ali\io(t inru|)poria')l,', the air be- ing lerenc all that i,nie. Notwiihlland- jng this, the Swedes live a lone while j and it is not uncommon to fee ten jjeo- ple at the fame table, vvhofe ag-S make up 1000 yeais. I'hofc place., tiiat a'C tit for cultivation have fcarce a foot of j^ood earth, for below it is all giavel; for whicli reafon they till the ground with a lin.;!e ox, an.i one fervant may readily iinna.;e the plough. For want of manuie tiiey bum their fuperfluous wood, and lliew the aihes on the ground, to render it fiuiMul : however, this prailite has of late b^en foibid. All ihtirrocUs are ^\um; covered with llowers m the fuiiiner time, and tinn garilens have plen V of fruits, 'i'hc trees aie «arly in bloif>ming, beca'.ilc th • foil is fit and fuljihureous, which contributCb tiieaily to the vegetation of pl.iiits ; but ytt the apples, pcari, elicrrics, apiicxUs, s w melons, and grapes, have not fo gpod a taile as in the more fouthein countries. 1 heir domeilick animals are horfes, cows, liogs, goats, and ftieep. In the winter time fodder is fo fcarce, that th(s inhabitants are forced to unthatch their houfes, to feed their cattle. With re- gard to the wild bealts, there are bears, wolves, foxes, wUd-cats, and fquirrels. In winter the foxes and fquirrels becc ne grey, and the liaies as while as fnow. There are alio elks and rain-deer. They have feveral forts of fowls, and par- tridges, woodcocks, and falcons, in great plenty. The filver mines are 200 yards in depth ; and though they are rich, yet tlie people who work them have fcarce wiierewith to fublilt, when the king's duties are paid. The mines of copper ate e-Nceeding good, and they get large quantities out of them every year, tho' not fo much as formerly. Like vife the iron mines yield a gre it deal cf iron, and they ufually exchange them for the com.Tioditici of foreign countries. IJut fmce the Swedes have had manufaiflories of their own, foreign merchandifes have been proliibited ; which has reduced the iion to fo low a price, that thofe that woi k in the mines can fcarce get enough to live upon. The Swedes did not ap- ply to navigation till the year 1644, when their veifels had liberty to pafs tiirough t'ic Soun witliout the Sound, the merchandizes broiM'ht from tlic l:ait Indies come du- ty free.

From this time it became a republic, under the protection of the Turks, who pay a certain tribute to the Bafliaw that relidee at Tunis. The air in j;eneral is healthy, but the foil in the calUrn parts is but indilVerent for want of water, ''owaids the miridlethe moun- tains and /alleys abounti in fruits ; but the weftern part is the molt fertile, be- caufe it is watered with rivers.

The inroads of the Arabs oblige t!ie inha- bitants to fow tlieir barley aiid rye in the fuburbs, and to enclofe their gardens with walls. However, there are plenty of citions, lemons, cran;;es,da'es, p,rapcs, and other fruits. There are alfo oli^c trees, rofes, and odorifeious plants.

There is no paiTing tlirough this city in n carriage, for whicli rtafon they make ufe of a fort of boats, called (joiuIoIhs. Some of the canals have a double key, as in Holland, for tl.ofe that walk on foot. This renders the fituation very advantageous; becaufc this city btinjj 4 cr 5 miles from the ^P-- V E Innd, has no need of walls or ramparts. It is alfo favourable to the finvjular neatnefs, which predominates tiirougli- out the whole place, and in the houfts ; ..'id likewife facilitates the carriage of nil forts of mcrchandifes, and goods fiom one place to another.

There are above 500 bridges over thcfe canals, the moft famous of which is th.hc called the Rialto. It is built about tl'ie middle of the great canal, which divides Venice into two parts. It is of white marble, and has but one arch, in wliicli its principal be.auty conlif^s j and it is 90 feet from one extremity to the other. On this bridge there are two rows of ihops, which divide it into three ftreet's. The largert of which is in the middle. The other bridges confift only of oiie aveh, and have no rr.iis on each fide. They have Heps to go up them, which are allot acoarfe fort of marble. There are in Venice 53 publick fquares, aswcllfmal? as great ; the principal of which is cal- led St, Mark's place, and is the greatefl ornament to the city. St. Mark's churcli is at one end, and that of St, Geminiani at the other. The procuraties, whicli are a fort of marble Aruaures, wliofe architecture is very liandfome and re- gular, run along each fide, havinj huge piazzas under them. This place- is 180 paces in length, and iio ir» breadth. That part next the fea, is the walk of the noble Venetians, and is the place where feveral affairs are tranfafted- There are 150 palaces, the fincfl pf which is that of the Dojc, that fronts St. Mai k's place. He lodges in the upper apartments, and thofe below, arc fpr the ailemblies of the councils of ftate, with the body of the nobility, and magi- ftratcs, Befides thefe large buildings, there aie 1 15 towers, of furprifing height and (Uudure ; 64 marble flatues, and 23 of bronze, which are all mailer- pieces of workmanrtiip.

In this arlenal there are arms for icoooo men, as well horfe as foot \ tcfides 2CCO cannons always ready for iervice, either by fca or land. There are near 2000 workmen conitantly em- ployed, whofe chief is called Amiraglio, and they are paid regularly every Satur- day. Thefe workmen cofl the republic fcccoo ducats every year. In this City there are 70 churches, t,() mona- fterics, 2S nunneries, and 17 hofpitals. The cathedral church is that of SrMark, in which they pretend to kot p the body of Sf. Mark tiie Ev.-ingelifl. It is gioomy within, but its walls are of m.tr- ble, aiid the pillais of the liont are cn- cruflcd with j.ifpcr, and porphyry. There is alfo a libiavy, in which are a number of Greek manufcripts, but none of them are above 5^0 years old.

Venice, the rtpMblick of, a country of Italy, which compichends 14 provinces, namely the LVigado, the Paduano, the Victntino, the Veronefe, tlie Brefciano, t!i»; Beigomafco, the Crcnia'"co, thel'olc- fino-di-Rovigo, the Marca-Trevijiana, the Feltrino, the Uellunefe, the Cado- rino, Friuh, and If^na; which fee m tlicir pioper place:;. In the fourth century, when Atilla king of the Hi.ns, railed thr fcourgc of dud, ravaged th.' N. part of Italy ; many of the inli.ibitant > abandoned their ciuntry, and retired in- to thv iflands of t^hc Adi iatick-Sea. As thefe idands are rear each other, they found means to join them together, by driving piles on the fides of the canals, on which they built Iioufes, and thus the fuperb ci;y of VLnic.- had its btginning. *Fhe govtrnmejU cf ili« le^uLlitk of V E Venice is arlf\ocratick, for none cai have any fliare in it but the nnhles. Thefe may be divided into fix dalles, namely twelve of the mofl ancient fami- lies ; four families that in 880, fubfcrib- ed to the building of the abbey of St. George ; thofe whofe names wore written in the gold.n book in 1296 ; the fami- lies that were ennobled by the publick ia 1385; thofe that purchafed their nchility for loooco ducats, in 1646 ; and laftly, all the ftrangers which the Venetians have received into the number of tlieir nobility. Any man of thefe families above 2; years of age, has a rii;lutolii; a member of the council, whether he has any capacity or not. It generally coniifls of about z i;co ; and they are ac- counted great politicians, good negotia- tors, and fecret even to a fcruple. They alfo make a magnificent appearancf, fuitabic to the dignity of their cniploy- m=nt. The Doge n eleded by a plura- lity of voices, and keeps his dignity for life, anut in a velfel, and fervc for balloting. Thofe wliodrnv nine golden balls, tirl> eledt 40 counfd- lor?, who draw 12 others. Thefe eleft 25 othtr counffllors, who draw 9 golden baili. Thefe 9 eleft 40 counftll.irs, v.'lio dravy 11. Thofe that have the 11, chufe 41 coiinfellors, who proceed (o t: e eledion, till 2 5votts or more fall upon the fame perfon, who is then de- clared Doge. After this cltdion tliey jjlacc tl'.e ducal cap on his head, upon \^•lv.:h he takes pollefTion of the Do!;e's pal,jce. He never uncovers his head to any perfon, becaufe he does not \\ -\r ihe cap in his own name, but in that of the repubhck. When there aie any great foliiinnities, a nobleman c.ir- ries the fword, which is an t mlilem of the fupreme authority ; but it is not be- fore the Doge, but befoie il'C fcnare, to (hew that the power is lodged in them. The office of the Doge is to give audience to all ambairadors; to marry the Adriatick Sea in the name of the repuMick, on Holy-Tliuriday; to preiiri'.- in all alfemblies of the ftate; to h.ive an eye over all the members of the ma- giftracyj and to nominate ttriarch cf Venice, who mull be a noble Venctkui, and is eleded by the fcnate. This Patriarch, in confequence of t!ic policy of the fcnate, has fcarce any I'owei o'. er the priell'. and monks, who arc greatly cor- rupted. There is another Patriarch be- longing to Venice, whoCe authority ex- tend'j over Friuli, Kbi.i, and molt of the birtiops on Terra Fin/;.i. The tribunal cf the inquifition at Venice, is compoled of the Pope's Nuncio, the Patriarch of Venice, and the Fatlv r-inquilitor ; but as tliefe had need of a nridle, tliey has e added three counftUors to the nunibes, without whofc cor.fcnt they can deter- mine nothing. The clergy in general ire ignorant, and yet they are pretty good orators. When the divcrfums of the carnival are over, you hear nothing hut ftrmons about repentance, and t!iey declaim vay Ihongly againfl the vio- lators of tiie fixili commandment ; however, the brcacii of it is fo commoc. V E and fo mvich in fafhion, that the con- feilbrs themfclvcs ticat it as a peccadillo. In times of peace, the Venetians gene- rally keep an army of 16000 regular troops, and loooo militia. On the fea they have always a finall ficet, compofed of a few men of war, frigates, and gal- leys, whiCh convoy the lliips defigncd for the Levant, and cover the harbour of Corfu. There are alfo fix galleys, with a few galliots or brigantines, to oppofa the Corfairs which cruife on their coaf^s. In time of war they raife as many troops as they have occafion for, and they are fond of taking Germans into their pay. Their famous carnival begins on New-years-day, and continues till Afli- Wednel'day ; all which time is employed in fports and diverfions. Then there is fcarce any dirtinftion betwixt vice and virtue ; for hbertinifm reigns through the city, and there are thou''ands of ftrangers frequent it from all parts of Europe. They all appear in mafques, which no one dares venture to take off, and in this difeuife they imitate the fury ofthe ancient Bacchanals^ and the nearer A(h-Wednefday approaches, the mor^ mad they are. The principal fpot o£ the mafquerade is St. Mark's placs, where there are fomerimes 15000 peo- ple ; and it fwarms with harlequins, jeffers, mountebanks, rope-dancers, an4 puppet-fliows, Even the priefls and monks enjoy the diverfions of the car- nival ; and they may keep concubines at other times, fing upon the ftage,, and take what liberties they plsafe, provided they do not meddle with the govern- ment. The nuns do the fam?, and Isad di !cU;te lives j nor can the patriarch re« flrain tliem. for he attempted it on:e, hnc the fenate interpofed, and ob!ig?d him to delid. ViNto, a flrong town of the Unitfif. Provinces, in Guclderland, and in the qu.iiter of Ruremor^d. It wa^ former- ly in alliance with the Hanliatick towni, till it was taken by Charles V. in 1543.

The entrance into Virgi- nia for fliipping, 13 by the mouth of Che- fapeak bay, which runs up into the land above 200 miles ; likev.^ife all fhips mud pafs through it that are bound to Maryland. The princijial rivers are James, York, Rappahannock, and Pa- towimck, all which are full of conve- nient and fafe harbours. There are alfo many fmall rivers, fome of which are capable of receiving the largeft mer- chant (hips. The foil of Virginia is various, and fecms fitted for the produc- tion of vegetables, and trees of all forts. The land towards the mouths of the rivers is generally low, and is fit for rice, hemp, and Indian corn, though they are at prefent well ftocUed with many forts of trees, from 30 to 7c feet high. The land higher up the rivers is generally level, and well watered with fprings ; but there are here and there fome fmall hills. That near the fK:\ is generally fandy, and without ftones, for which rea- fon they fcldom (hoe thcii horfes. The richeft lands lie near the bramhes of the rivets, and abound with various forts of timber, furprifmgly large, The names of the trees are not taken notice of, bc- catife, properly fpeaking, they all diff r in fome refpedl or othei, from thofe in Europe. At the heads of the rivers there are mountains, valley?, lulls, and plains, with different trees ; and indeed not many years ago, the whole country fcemcd to be one continticd wood, with plantations here and tin.ic, whete the roots of the tiees had been grubbed up. But it is to be fufipofed, that as the country grows more popu Iocs, mofl of the trees will be cut down, ?nd it vill be well if they don't run into the other extream, and leave the country deflitute of wood. There ate alfo great varieties of earth for niedii;ini;o, fcowstirj, inak- ing iill forts of earthen ware, anfl pijies j and there is alfo marl for manuring the land. There are others tor painting, fuch as red, and yellow oker^and in the upper parts there are mines of anti- mony, talk, coal, with quarries of flate and llone for building, as alfo pebble- flones. However, the coal is at prefent of no ufe, for plenty of wood for firing grows at every man's door. In proctfs of time there is great reafon to i)elieve, that there will be mines of various kinds found in the mountains, which at pre- fent the inhabitants do not thirk it woith while to enquire after. There are a great variety of fruiu, fome of which grow there naturally, and fomr have been tranfplanted from England, particularly peaches, whi«h grow almoil every where upon ftandaid tiees, and yet are exceeding good. Theie wri very few towns in Virginia, or even villages, for the planters have houfes fcattererf every where up and down the country, wheie they cultivate tobacco, vvliJch is the principal commodity. James-town was formerly the principal, but of la'« WiJliamfuurg, where there is a college. It conlifts of one long broad ftreet, wit!> a few houfes at fome dillance from each other. The Englifli inhabitants are of the church of England, and the clerjy have a pretty good maintainar.ee, io general it is an hofpitable countiy, and they are fo ready to entertain eacii othf, and ftrangeis, that a man may trave! through it VJithoutany txpenct;. Tliey have a few forts, but their piincipal de- fence by land is a militia, a)'d by li.-*, the men of war fcnt from Fngland ; for they have no iliips of their own, rhoagh they have all conveniences for building them. However, thcie is Jittic doubt to be made, but the face of affairs will be quite altered in a few ycass. There .lie now no original Ameiican«, impro perly called Indians in the eaflern p.-jrts of Virginia, becaufe, as it is fiippofed, they rather cimfe to live by thcmi'elve?., and follow their own cuftoms. With regard to their complexion, i uncertain, but it is faid the kin;; can bring 1 00000 men into the field : there are a grc.it number of precious ftcnrs found here, and the women are the nioft diffo- lute of any in thefe parts.

They fend their merchant-fhips witliin the flieights of Gibraltar, to Spain, Francs, Italy, and the Levant ; as alfo to Gui- nea, tiie Eaft-lndies, Mofcovy, and feve- lal other parts : however, their principal trade depends upon the Haft-India com- pany, which is tlie moft confxlcrable in the world, and was tiril eftabliftied in 1 602, It is faid they have 1 5,000 troops in the Eaft-Indies, with 160 fliips, and So, coo perfons to man them, and for their fervice, w h.ofe names arc regiftercd at an offtce in Amilerdam. When any foreigners are in their fervice, and die abroad, the company takes care their efieds fnall go to the right heir. The goods and merchandifes that they bring from the Eaft Indies, are alnioft univer- fally known, and therefore need not be lieie enumerated. The herring-riflicry is another great advantage, which is chiefly about the north parts of Scot- land, where they commonly fend icoo fail of fliips. One part of the firti is employed in viiflualling their fhips, and the reft they fend to other nations. It is faid tli€ val'.ie of this trade to the Dutch is worth 6,occ,oco of florins per annum, each of which is one fliil- ling and nine pence Englilh. The forces of tlie United Provinces, in times of peace, are about 35,000 men, for guards and garrifons, and far their men of war. Jn time of war they may be about 50,00c; but if occaiion requires, they can raife 80, ceo, and there was a time when they hael 100,000 in their pay, and they chiefly confift of men from other na- tions. With regard to fca affairs, they lia. : very good mariners of their own. In times of peace they ufually had 30 men of war to fervc as convoys, which v.'crc ready to raife their anchors at the firft figiial ; but of late iticir navil (ono has been grc.\t!y ne^-leded, and tlicy have fulTcred their principal velTl;ls at- iTiofl to rot ill tlieir li:irbours. With le- fard to thfir iTitrchant-fnips they have always ureal nuiiibcis, and they arc gc- rerally faid to have had 25,000 inrs'c vclfels, and joo.ooo rmnll ones of dif- ii.rtiu kinds. The r;'.':,:iuts of thii rv- V o piiMic are raifcd by taxes, dmic:., :if,i cxcifcb, paid by all the inliabiunts in general, inlcnuich that there is net j difh of meat brought to the table, ln^t what is faid to be taxed ten times owr. The duties upon merchandifes brin,;ifi confidcrablc fums ; but thcfc m\ifi be al- ways in proportion to their trade. From thefe, and other lefources, the Dutch ,113 faid to raife annually between 2 and 3,000,000 1. Aerling in times of peace; and in the time cf war they have jeiie- rally a poll-tax, a land-tax, and lieanli. mcney, which confiderably incieafe tlic revenue. With regard to iheir religion, th^re is no fed in the woild but wliat is tolerated, infomuch ti.at there arc faid to be J?, in all j however, none but tliofc of the ertabliflicd religion, vvliich ist!;c reformed, aie permitted to be concerned in rtate-aflairs. The Dutch arc not all very good Chriflians j for in Japan they are contented to lay afide the open pro- feiVion of their faith ; and in many other inftances they feem to be of opinion, that godlinefs is gain. They have bog- gled at no cruelties to attain their ends; of which we have an inAance in the wrefting of the Spice-Iflands fiom the Englifli, and which they now polRfs without a competitor, infomucii that all the trade for fpices goes throuijh their iiands.
