Sftfjjlte^ to iHiiior caurricS. 



Defoe s Anticipations (Vol. iii., p.287.). — Defoe 

 had probably seen the Enrv|i:sh translation, or 

 rather abridgment, of Father Dos Santos's Ethio- 

 pia Oriental, in Purchas'^ Pilg)-imcH (vol. ii. 1544, 

 fol. ed.), ill which some liiiiis are given of llie 

 great lake (nyassi, i. e. sea) Maravi, which lies 

 nearly parallel with the eastern coast, and was 

 known to D'Anville, in whose map Maasi is mis- 

 engraved for Niassi. A very carel'ul cxiimination 

 of the rortuguese expeditions across the continent 

 of Africa has been given by Mr. Cooley, in the 

 Jouriial of the Iloyal Geographical Society (vol. xv. 

 p. 185. ; xvi. p. 138.), and he has ascertained, ap- 

 ])roximately, the extent and ])osition of that great 

 lake, which, from distrust of D'Anville, one of the 

 most exact geographers, had been expunged from nil 

 modern maps. It is considerably to theN. and E. 

 of the Nyami lately determined, and of nnich 

 greater extent. Anatol,. 



Epitaph in HalVs Diacovci-y (Vol. iii., p. 242.). 

 — The work entitled Discovery of a New World, 

 or a Description of the South Indies, hitherto un- 

 knoiim, by an English 3fc7-ciiry, imprinted hy E. 

 Blount, wo date, 12rao., is not, as your correspondent 

 supposes, very rare, nor is it by Bishop Hall. It 

 is a free translation, or rather paraphrase, and an 

 excellent one in its way, by John Ilealey, of 

 Bishop ILdl's very entertaining Mundns Alter et 

 Idem, first published in 12mo., Francof., wiliiout 

 date, afterwards reprinted with Campanella's Ci- 

 vitas Solis and Bacon's Atlantis at Utrecht, 1G43, 

 24mo., and subsequently included in the edition 

 of Bishop Hall's works by Pratt, 10 vols., Lond., 

 1808, 8vo. The e|)itaph quoted is not a satire 

 upon any statesman of the time. The writer is 

 describing the Land of Changeableness, or, as it is 

 called in the Latin original, " Variana vel ]\Ioro- 

 nia ]\Iobilis," and gives in the course of his de- 

 scription this epitaph on Andreas Vortunius (a 

 vertendo), or, as he is styled in the English trans- 



* High Slieriffof Bristol in 1626, and the Mayor 

 of Bristol in 1641 who refused admittance to the royal 

 forces. See Barrett and Seycr.
