that which occupies the greateft part of the 
fouthern hemifphere, the South Seas. 
Having thus difpatched the world in ge- 
neral, let us now contemplate this map of 
Europej which, you perceive, is the Europe 
we have already feen, magnified, or deline- 
ated on a larger fcale. Here the degrees of 
latitude marked on the fides, and of longitude 
at the bpttorn, are much larger. By this 
means Europe becomes as large as the whole 
world; and, as thefe degrees may be enlarg- 
ed to any fize, a kingdom may be magni- 
fied to appear as large as this Europe, or a 
province as large as a kingdom. 
Before we inyefligate this quarter of the 
world, it is necefTary to obferve by what 
countries and feas it is environed. On the 
eaft you fee it is bounded by Afia; on the 
weft, by the Atlantic; on the north, by the 
Frozen Sea; and on thefoufb, by the Medi- 
terranean. This fea, you obferve, is a prin- 
cipal object ; it deferves your attentive con- 
fideration. It wafhes the coaft of Spain, of 
France, of Italy, and of European Turkey. 
It contains the iflands of Ivica, Majorca, Mi- 
norca, Corfica, Sardinia, Sicily, Candia and 
Cyprus, befides the fmall iflands of the Ar* 
chipelago.
