Maker, as well as good Proficience and Experience 
in the Peruferj and therefore nor lb proper for an 
Introdudion to Learners, in the Rudiments of Geo- 
graphy. Young Minds are apt to receive wrong No- 
tions and Prejudices from them, at leaft cannot be 
rightly and eafily inftruCted by them. 
To obviate this Inconvenience, Geographers have 
contrived and conftruded the Terreftrial Globe, on 
which they endeavour to delineate ail the Parts of 
the Earth’s Surface in their natural State, as to Lon- 
gitude, Latitude, Diftance, Bearing, Magnitude, 
which being a true and genuine Reprefenration of 
the whole Superficies of the Earth, as far as it is yet 
known, is the beft adapted for conveying juft No- 
tions to young Minds, and for preventing all falfe 
Conceptions and Prepofleflions. After the firft Ru- 
diments of Geography have been imbibed from 
hence, they will be then prepared for the Ufe of 
plain Maps ; and they will afterwards find, that 
large Projections of particular Countries, Kingdoms 
and Provinces, in plano^ will be of excellent Ser- 
vice to them for their farther Improvement in this 
ufeful and necefiary Science. Nor will they now 
be in any Danger of being milled by fuch Maps, 
tho* they are not fo juft and natural Reprefentations 
of the Earthly Globe. 
Now the fame Conveniencies that may be derived 
from the whole Globe, may, in Proportion, be had 
from any notable Portions of it ; as an Hemifphere, 
a Quadrant, a SeCtant, an OCtant, or other Parr. 
But with this Advantage befides, that thefe partial 
Spherical Maps will not only be much lefs cumber- 
fome, and more manageable than a whole Globe,
