It is 75 Inches lon e j but differs much fromflmw’s Map, which I chofe to follow for the Tt annear from the Graduation that he obferved no Latitudes, that of Boftort being pm in 42 Degrees 37 Minutes ; which are 12 Minutes more Isortn than Wa Fh n w?Rt r e V r 1 o 0!

Hazzen's Survey, the only one within that S P ace o be ^' nended on •, that of Capt. Southack being very erroneous, though faid to have been befr acquainted with Penobjkot Bay. His Survey, made before 17 ( 5 ) tends from Staten Island in New York River, along the Coaft, to Shegnikto Bafon, and thence round the Peninfula of Nova Scotia , to Green Bay in the Gulph of Nova Scotia , called by the French the Bay of St. Laurence. It was publifhed in 1731, and is 33 Inches long, the Original 30 or 40 Feet. T hough, for the ge¬ neral, a very coarfe and erroneous Draught, yet not without its Life ; and would have been more ufeful had he mentioned tlie Parts which he viewed with moll Care, fuch as that of Cape Sable feems to be. It does not appear, however, that in making this Chart he employed any Inflruments, excepting rhe Log and Compafs. On which Occafion I mud obferve, this is the firft T ime perhaps that ever a Perfon bred to the Sea undertook to make a Chart of fo great an Extent of Coaft, without ever taking a lingle Latitude; and for the Honour of Navigators, as well as Safety of Navigation, I hope it may be the lad. From Mount Defart to Cape Race or Rage, or rather Holman's, Harbour, in the Bay of Argal or Lundy , is laid down from the Survey of that Bay made by Surveyor-General Blackmore in 171 t and 1712, by Order of Quecn Anne ; in which Space it differs from Southack' s. It extends from that Ifle eaftward along the northern Coaft to Shegnekto, but no further North than the laid Cape and Mill Ide. From thence it proceeds round the fouthern Coaft (taking in the Bay of Minas) to Port Royal. It is accompanied with a Plan of the Bafon of Annapolis , and regulated by the Latitudes obferved at that Cry, Mount Defart , and Mount Defart Rock, which are inferted in the Chart, with other Remrks, re¬ lating to the Currents, Sounding', and Tides. With refpecl to the Coaft from Mount Defart to the River StACroix, Hazzens, Map agrees better with it than Southack' s, although his wants the lfiand of Pafjamaquidi, which is found in the two later Surveys. If it cannot be called a very corredl Survey, it is of confiderable Ufe. . The Coaft from Cape Race to Shegnekto , and thence round, including Minas Bay, to Port Royal , is exhibited from the accurate Surveys of Surveyor-General Morris , made in 1748 and 1749, laid down by a Scale of 34 Leagues to an Inch. It is fupported by Oblervations of the Latitude at Grindfione , or Mill Ifle, near the Entrance of Shegnikto Bafon, and of Minas: and accompanied alfo with Draughts of Port Royal and Shegnikto Harbours •, befides Remarks on the Soundings, Tides, Currents, and Variation of the Compafs. From Port Royal Gut, round Cape Sable, to Port Senior or Rofignol , on the South-coart of the Peninlula, is taken from the Chart of Mr. Chabert, Enfign of the King of France's Ships, Member of the Academy belonging to the Marine, &?f. who was fent in 1750 to reflify the Charts of Acadia (or Nova Scotia)’ He Royal (or Cape Breton), and Newfoundland. This Chart, which is inferted in the Relation of his Voyage, printed in 1753, extends from Latitude 4.2 to 48, comprifing the Peninfula of Neva Scotia , and Part of the Continent from St. Croix River in the Weft, the Hand of Cape Breton, and the South- coaft of Newfoundland, with the adjacent Hands and Banks. This Chart, fo far as the Author furveyed, is doubtlefs very accurate, and is fupported by a confiderable Number of Obfervations, as well of Latitude as 1 r? s a 2 Longitude, ( 6 ) Longitude, mentioned in the Relation, and the Places marked where the Ob- fervations were made, diftinguifhing which were taken at Sea from thofe taken on Land. He has added a very ufeful Improvement, by marking the Scale op- pofite to the Place where Obfervations were made. In this Parc he has given us the Latitudes of Port Royal, Long Ifle, and Seal Kies, with the Latitudes and Longitudes of Cape Sable and Cape Boldaraw Puftage. It is drawn by a final! Scale of about an Inch one-third to a Degree: But the Defcft is in forne Meafure compenfaied by Surveys or Draughts of particular Parts; one of which falls within this Space, being that of Cape Sable, and the circumjacent Coalts, Including Seal Hands. We have likewife been affifted with the Plans of certain Ports in this Part of the Coaft ; particularly of Port JVager, otherwife called Rofway , and by the French Razoir. The Cjaft from Port Senior or Rojignol, to Shillingkook, near Little Jiddore, Shed- dower (as Southack writes it), or Theodore, is copied from another Survey of Mr; Morris , made in the Years 1751 and 1752, with no lcfs Accuracy than the former. It is laid down by a Scale of one League to an Inch, but not accom¬ panied with any Latitudes or Plans. However, Mr. Chabert very luckily has fupplied the firft Defedt by an Altitude taken at ChebuRo Head, called by him Cape St. Cendre ( or Sambro) ; a Point of great Importance in drawing a Map of the Peninfula. With refpedt to Plans, we have been furnifhed with plenty from other Quarters, particularly of Port La Heve, and the Bays of Mar- legajh , St. Margarets, and ChebuRo, with Part of Mohone: Of all thefe we have had feveral Draughts, excepting St. Margarets Bay, particularly of ChebuRo Bay and Halifax Harbour; two of them French ; one publifhed by Mr. Beilin, in Charlevoix's Hiftory of New France •, the other by Mr. Chabert, in the Relation of his Voyage; which laft very nearly agrees with the Reprefentation of the fame Parts in Mr. Morris's Survey. From Cape Jiddore *, near Little Jiddore, to Cape Kanfo, I have folely made Ufe of Mr. Chabert' s Chart, for the Situation and Diftance of the feveral Points, as well asSoundiqg of the Coaft ; yet not negledting to augment the Detail from a manufcript Chart of Capt. Durel, and the Maps of Meff. Popple and Beilin ; the firft of whom agrees with Mr. Chabert in this Part of the Coaft ; rnoft of which indeed is little known, efpecially the Bay of Ifles from Cape Jiddore to Cape Lifcomb, a Space of about 18 Leagues. 1 have met with no Draughts within this Divifion, excepting one of Great Jiddore, and another of Frankland Harbour, fufficiently rough. With refped to the Coaft from Cape Kanfo to the northern Entrance of the Gut of Kanfo, called by the French the Straights of Fronfak, Mr. Chabert has fupplied the Smallnefs of his Map with two Charts ; one of that whole Space, laid down by a Scale of near 25! Inches to a Degree ; the other a particular * It mud be obferved, that there are two Cape Jiddores or Theodores, the little and the greater; which laft lies fome Leagues diftant from the other. Mr. Beilin, ana after him Robert, marks the former in his Map ; Mr. Chabert the latter in his Chart, without diftinguifhing either, by its com¬ parative Appellation. Mr. Chabert placeth great Jiddore in his Chart about Latitude 44, 45, and Longitude 6j, t 5, from Baris, J 5 Minutes more Eaft than Little Jiddore by our Map. Plan ( 7 ) Plan of Kanfo Cape and Harbour, with the adjacent Iflands. This Draught, though affording a very good Idea of the Parts reprefen ted, which as to SiFua- Uon are very truly exhibited, yet has neither the Completenefs nor Accuracy, which d!(linguifhes the large manufcript Chart of the fame Court and Hands’ made by' Capt ■•Burel in 1724, and communicated by his Nephew Cap . Philip Burel. Tins Chart is 3 Feet 4 Inches, by 2 Feet 4 laches : whereas Mr. Cbi ^ s is no more than about 13 inches by 8-j-, which is the Size of all his parti- cular Charts. * Mr. Cbabert has regulated this Part of his Chart, and the Draughts, by Ob- lervations of the Latitude, at the Ruins of the Englifh Fort on Kanfo Hand ; at Plairtere Cove, in the Gut of Kanfo-, and of the Longitude, as well as Lati- tuue, o \Granu Anfe, ox Great Cove, in the fame Gut: “By Help of which the true Latitudes and Longitudes of Cape Kanfo, Cape Fronfak, or Burn-out , at the Fsorth Entrance of the Gut, and all ether Places contained in the particular Sur- veys or Charts, may be deduced. To chefe may be added the Latitude obferved at the Wefl-end of Blind Sable.

I he River Canada, or St. Laurence, the Ifland of Natifkotek, corruptly Anti- cojt, and North-coaft of the Gulph of Nova Scotia, is exhibited chiefly from fe- veral Charts or Draughts of that River, found on board fome French Ships taken in the laft War by Admiral Griffin, and communicated by that worthy Commander; particularly two, one of the River St. Laurence, made in 1738, ^1 om its Mouth to Quebek, with the Soundings; ^ Feet 3 Inches lono', by a Scale of 3 Leagues to an Inch and one-ninth : The other of the northern Coaft from the Mouth of the River to Bell Ifle, including Natijkolek , and the North- coaft of Newfoundland, without the Soundings; 4 Feet 1 Inch long, by a Scale of 3 Leagues to an Inch. The I (land of Cape Breton, or Ifle Royal, with thofe of St. Paul, of Birds, Bt ion, and Magdalen, a!fo the S. W. Point of Newfoundland, named Cape Ray , is laid down from Mr. Chabert s Chart and Plans, whereof two relate to Cape Breton ; that of the Gut of Kanfo, or Fronfak, including the S. W. Coaft of the Iflarid, with the greater Part of Ifle Madam ; the other exhibits ihe S. E. Coaft, from Guion to La Pierre a Fujil, or the Flint Ifle, comprifing the Bays of Ga- barus. Be Mire, and Morienne, with the Port of Louijburg, Skatari Ifland, and the other Ides adjacent to the Coaft. Befides the Latitudes and Longitudes obferved in the Iflands and Gut of Kanfo mentioned above, this Part of Mr. Chabert's Survey is regulated by die Latitudes of Skatari Iflands, Port Bauphin, the Ifland of St. Paul, and of Cape Ray in Newfoundland but above all by his Obfervations, both of the Latitude and Longitude, made at Louifburg or Engljh Harbour, which were the principal Motive of his Voyage, and the Bafis of all the reft.

If I did not fpecify thofe Surveys, who would be the wifcr, or be able to diftinguifh the Parts lurveyed from thofe which are not; the Places whofe Situations have been exactly determined, from thofe which are uncertain, and perhaps err to, 20, or 30 Minutes from tne Truth, though publilhed as accurate ; foine of which will be found in the fubfequent Table? The prefent Map is grounded on the Obfervations of the Latitudes and Lon¬ gitudes mentioned in the Surveys, and inferted in the annexed T. able, with the Situations given to the fame Places in the molt approved Maps and Charts, both Englijh and French, hitherto publilhed : By which Table the Reader may at one View perceive how much they differ from the prefent Map, and deviate from the Truth. . .. By comparing thofe Maps with ours, fupported by this Table, it will ap¬ pear, that Capt. Scuthack has laid all the Coaft from New England to Shegnekto gradually too low, from 5 to 15, and even 38 Minutes: That Mr. Robert has placed the fame Coaft, as far as St. Croix River, too low, in a contrary Direc¬ tion, from 2 1 to 10 Minutes ; and Mr. Beilin, to St. "John s River, lower lift, from 28 to 10 Minutes : That, on the other hand, Meff. Popple and Danville exhibit the fame Coaft, from New England to Shegnekto, too high; the hrft from 5 to 15, the latter from 10 to 20 and 44 Minutes. Thefe enormous Errors (how of how little Ufe the Draughts or Journals 01 Mariners are towards adjufting the Situations of Places, and making accurate Charts when not accompanied with Obfervations of the Latitude. We find by Capt. Scuthack' s Chart, how impracticable it is to fettle the Latitude of Places by the Courie and Diftance obferved in Sailing; and by Surveyor General Black- more's Chart, that as foon as they laid down the Quadrant, and trufted to the Needle, for afeertaining the Situation of Places, they fell into Errors gradually as they advanced. Even Mr. Morris puts Port Royal 18 Minutes too low : al- t ho’ at fo fmall a Diftance from Minas, whofe Latitude he had determined. To »o on with the Comparifon. In confequence of the different Situations o-lven to Shegnekto and Grinftone I(land, Southack places the North Part of the Pen in ful a'of Nova Scotia 28 Minutes too foutherly ; all the reft place it too northerly, from 15 to 40 and 47 Minutes. Herein Mr. Popple has fucceeded beft, and Mr. Robert worft. With refpeft to the South Coaft of the Penmfula, they all place v,ape Sable too high, from 9 Minutes gradually to 19 and 40. In this Article the Cap¬ tains Southack and Durel have approached mod near the Mark: Mr. Danville leaft. This Geographer puts Cape Sambro, or Sefambre, 16 Minutes too high ; all the reft too low, from 2 Minutes only, which Meflieurs Durel and Robert may have miftaken, to 25, by how much Capt. Southack has erred : Who hkew.fe places Cape Kanfo two low by 18 Minutes; altho* he publifhed a particular ( io ) Chart oF it and the Iflands; Mr, Beilin , 16 Minutes; Mr. Robert , ix. On the other hand, Mr. Danville-% ives it a Situation 9 Minutes too near the Pole; but Mr. Popple only 2. Yet this latter, in adjufting the North Entrance or the Gut of Kanfo , errs 18 Minutes in Excefs, and others in Proportion down to 4 Minutes ; which is Capt. Souihack’s Deviation for once near the 1 ruth. As we have no Latitude to the North of Bay Vert and the lfthmus of Sbegnck'o, which may .be depended on ; infteadof carrying my Examination farther Nortn, I fhall infert a Table of Latitudes obferved by a French Pilot in the Bay of St. Laurence , as inferted in one of the Charts found on board the Ships tak^n by Admiral Griffin , as before mentioned This every one who makes a Chart, and hath obferved any Latitudes, ought to do. Flowever, the French Naviga¬ tor did not do it from any fuch Confideration. The TABLE. Deg. Min.

He inferted it in his Chart to fupply the Want of a Scale of Latitude; for which Omifiion therefore we are obliged to him: Becaufe, had he made c a Scale, he would doubtlefs, like others, not have inferted the Obfervations, nor even marked the Places where they had been made. They who make Obfervations think a Scale anfwers every thing ; and they who make none, taking Advantage of the others Miftake infert a Scale that it may be thought they had made Obfervations. It would be no great Matter if all Map as well as Chart-makers would omit the Scale provided they inferted the Obfervations themfelves •, becaufe by the Scale one cannot difcover the Places where Obfervations were made, but by Help of the Obfervations he may eafily adapt a Scale. The Errors as to Latitude in this South Coafi: of the Peninfula, altho not 10 enormous as thofe found in the Maps and Charts of the Coafi: to the North of the Bay of Lundy , are yet much more inexcufable and confiderable; feeing they refpedt a Coaft in whofe exadl Reprefentation the Safety of Navigation is much more concerned, as it lies more out to Sea, and in the Way of Shipping. But the Blame of thefe Errors does not lie at the Door of the Geographers, who cannot do better than their Materials will permit them. They are the Navigators ( II ) Navigators therefore who occafion thofe Errors, either by wholly; negledting to obferve Latitudes, or elfe not taking them with proper Care. It is furpriiing they could fo long fee the Charts in this Part err fo monflroufly, without any Concern for rectifying them. Since the Time Captain Durel made a Chart of the Peninfula of Nova Scotia , about 20 Years ago, not one Navigator has done any thing to improve it. On this Occafion it may be proper to cite a Pafiage or two out of the Voyage of a curious Sea Officer. Mr. Chabert fpeaking of the great Errors found in the Engliffi and Dutch Maps, which differ no lefs than 9 whole Degrees of Longi¬ tude, or about 120 Leagues, in the Situation of the eaflern Coaft of Newfound¬ land , which amounts to more than one Sixth of its Diftance from Europe, adds : “ That fo much Uncertainty might produce very pernicious Confe- “ quences; and that there was even great Reafon to believe, that the Lofs of “ many Ships, among the reft that of the Camel, a Pink belonging to the King, “ in 1715, is to be attributed to no other Caufe.*’’ It would be more excufeable to err in the Longitude than in the Latitude of Places, btcaufe there is not fo eafya way of coming at it; and yet it appears from the Table, that the Geographers have errred lefs in this Refpedt than the other. What is (till more remarkable, they who had leaft Helps have fucceeded beft. Mr. Danville, who hit the Longitude of Louijburg within 25 Minutes, errs 53 Minutes in the Longitude of Cape Sable , tho’ in the Neighbourhood of Cape Briton •, and Mr. Robert, tho’ in Poflfefiion of the true Longitude of Louisburg, an Advantage which none of the reft had, errs 2 Minutes more than Mr. Danville: while Capt. Southack and Mr. Beilin err only 7 Minutes in Defedt, and Mr. Popple (whofe Map is fo juftly found Fault with in many other Refpedb) only 2 Minutes. He has hit the Mark alfo with refpedl to the Longitude of Cape Kanfo within 2 Minutes; while Mr. Robert (with the Longitude of Louisburg lo near to affift him) is out 1 Minute more, and Mr. Danville 22 Minutes. Capt. Southack alfo errs 29 Minutes ; but Mr. Beilin a whole Degree. Mr. Popple’s Map therefore may boaft of a Vidtory over all the Geographers on thefe two Occafions; and of a Fadt the like of which is not p>robably to be found : For by hitting the Situation of the two Extremities of the South Coaft fo precifely with the Obfervations, he has likewife determined the Extent of the Peninfula to a Minute, viz. 4 Deg. 37 Min. while the reft make it to exceed ; Meffieurs Beilin and Robert by 28 Minutes ; Mr. Danville 31 : Only Captain Southack determines it 42 lefs. For the future therefore the Geographers ought to be more fparing of Mr. Popple’s Map ; fince if they may be able to corredt him in many Things, it is in the Power of none of them to produce fuch a furprifing Inflance of Exidt- nefs, whether it was owing to Chance or Skill. On comparing him particularly with Mr. Robert , who erred though he had the Longitude of Louisburg to help him, while the other proceeded as it were at Hazard, with nothing certain for * Voy. fait par Ordre du Roy en 1750& 1751 dans L’Amerique Septent. pour reflifier les Cartes des Cotes de tAcadie, &.C. p. 2. B his ( 12 ) his Guide; we find thefetwo Maxims verified, that falfe ConduBons may be drawn from true Premises, as well as true from falie ones. Mr Chabert determines the Diftance from Cape Kanfo to Cape Sable to b. n6 Leagues W. S. W. 8 Degrees S. And fuppofing 53 Degrees 22 Minutes to he the rh'ht Longitude of Bofton, the Meridian Diftance between that City and Cape Sable will be 5 Degrees 32 Minutes -, and the Diftance by Sea 83 T Leagues \V. by 2 Degrees 49 Minutes S. fo that Bofton will be 10 Degrees 7 Mmu.es more W. than Cape Kanfo, and about 159 Leagues diftanr. . , The Geographers err no lefs in the Figure of the Coafts of Nova Scotia, than in the Situation of Places, and commit feveral other Miftakes. I ftnll poi t out a few. Mr. Robert miftakes Cape Elizabeth, at the Entrance of Kasko Bay, for Cape Porpoife, or Par pus, which lies lower down. ' ' Th .,re is no Sign of the Great Bay of Penobskot in either his Map, or that of Mr. Beilin, whom he for the general copies -, which is the more to be wondered at, as Champlain, btfides exhibiting it in his Map, has given a particular Le- feription of it, and makes it 9 or 10 Leagues wide at the Mouth. On the other hand, Meffieurs Popple and Danville (who follows him to 'he River St. Croix) have inferred Penobskot Bay in their Maps, but m.ftake Long Je t. Mount Defart, which they place within the Bay on the Weft-fide-, and by that means not only conf ound two Wands together, which are many Leagues afunder, but alio contraft the Space, between Penobskot and Peffamaquadi B.*y, 10 or a D 7Cn I ea uies. On the contrary, Meftieurs Beilin and Robert Probably f 2 ’‘° 7 ? g Southed?* Chart, put Mount Defart feveral Leagues to the Eaft of Penobskot Bay, and reprefent it as a fmall Iftand : Whereas its weflern End lies at the very Entrance of the Bay to the Eaft ; and it is 16 or 17 Miles m Length Thefe Errors are the more furprifing, as Champlain hath defenbed it both as to Situa¬ tion and Extent precifely conformable to Mr. Hazzen s Map, from wmch we 1U WidfrefptftTo the Peninfula of Nova Scotia, Blackmore and Soutback make the great Peninfula which lies between the Bays of Sbegnektoand Minas very long and narrow. This happens in confequence of laying down the Coaft of the North Main too low, for want of taking^.tudes as hath been before obferved On the other hand, Capt. Durel and Mr. Popple make the Breadth of thar Peninfula a great deal too large : So do the French Geographers, who have not hit either the Form of it or of Minas Bay, fo well as the Englitb, efpeaady the two firft mentioned. . , „ Moft of them make the Breadth of the great Peninfula between Minas Bay and the South Coaft too great-, fome by one Half, others two I hircls, and feme more than double: Excepting Meftieurs Beilin, ana Robert Ins Copift, v.ho exceed but 2 or 2 Minutes at moft -, and Capt. Southack, who makes it 7 Mi- nutes lefs Thefe Differences are the more confiderable, as the Dnrerence ot Latitude between Minas Town and Cape Sambro is notfeore than 30 Minutes. The Maps differ exceedingly as to the Figure of the South Coaft or ihv. P ( 15 ) follow Mr. Beilin , on the Credit of what he tells us in his Remarks prefixed to Vol. III. of Charlevoix's, Hiflory, “ That he had made all the Refearches pof- “ fible for Acadia (by which he means the Peninfula of Nova Scotia) and had “ taken from Journals of the King’s and Companies Ships, the Latitudes both “ of the Eaft and Weft PointsBy which ntuft be underftood the Capes Sable and Kanfo. With regard to this laft in particular, he fays, “ That, altho’ Mr. “ Popple has exhibited the Peninfula exadtly enough with refpeft to its Length, “ and.the Latitude of Places, yet he puts Kanfo 20 Minutes too northerly” All this was fo plaufible, and fo ftrongfy afferted, that (tho’ his Maps differ) I made no Difficulty to follow him both in the Latitude of Cape Kanfo and that of Cape Sable, (as marked in his Map of the Peninfula, which I preferred to his general Map of New France in thefe Particulars) efpecially as the latter feemed confirmed by the Tables of Latitude and Longitude inferted in the Mariner’s Compafs rectified, and other Books of the Kind, for the Ule of Na¬ vigators i who for the general, it feems, look on them as infallible. I muft own 1 had no Dependence on ] the Latitude any more than the Lon¬ gitude of Cape Sable , as found in thofe Tables, otherwife than as it agreed with the Situation given to it by Mr. Beilin which I judged to be nearer the Truth, as Mr. Danville places that Cape above the Latitude of 44. I con¬ cluded alfo, that if thofe Tables were right in any thing, it muft be in giving the Latitude of fo remarkable a Cape ; and the rather as it had flood in them fo long without any Alteration. When the Outlines of the whole Map was drawn, I was informed by a Sea Officer, that Cape Sambro was fituated precifely in the Latitude of 44 Degrees 30 Minutes. He affured me that he was Witnefs of three Obfervations which were made at the fame Time, from different Ships, and which all agreed with¬ in a few Seconds. On the Credit of this Information I refolved to alter my Map ; and found myfelf obliged to give this Part of the fouthern Coaft a dif¬ ferent Situation with refpect both to Latitude and Longitude, fuch as it now Hands in the Map. Having done this I fent it to the Engravers •, and when all the Coafts and Rivers were finifhed, Mr. Chabert's "Voyage appeared, containing his accurate Charts, and Aftronomical Obfervations, made particularly at thofe three Places, whofe Latitudes I had been fo long in queft of, and believed I had at laft pro¬ cured : But when I came to examine things, I was much furprifed to find how greatly I had been miftaken, as well as milled, with regard to two of them. Mr. Chabert expreffes a great Surprife at the enormous Error of no lefs than 27 Min. in the Lat. of Cape Sable, found in the Chart of the Marine. I was as much furprifed as he to find fuch an Error ; but more at Mr. Bellin' s declaring “ That he had taken the Latitude both of Cape Sable and Kanfo (in which laft II he errs 20 Minutes) from the Journals both of the King’s and the Company’s Ships.” This Matter, methinks, requires an Explanation. If one cannot depend on the Declaration of a Perfon in fuch Cafes •, or if a Geographer will put off his own Conjectures for abtual obfervations, I know not what can be faidd ( i6 ) As for the Mariner’s Compafs Redified, and the like Books, it feems incum¬ bent on the Navigators to oblige the Publifher to reform his Tables, and to throw out ail latitudes and Longitudes which have not been obferved ; or at leaft diftinguifh them by feme Mark from others, to prevent the Loft of Ship¬ ping Indeed Navigators themfelves are greatly to blame, who could fo ong fee fuch dangerous Errors, in Books publilhed for their Diredion in Sailin * without taking Notice of, or fending to the Bookfeller to corred, them ; as .t they were regardlefs of the Security of Navigation, or could fail as well by QtfexLhn'm^ my Map by Mr. Chabert's Obfervations, I found that I had fucceeded exadly with refped both to Latitude and Longitude, in p.acingCupe ^Sambro' but was* much out in the Latitude of Cape Sable, and in both Latitude ao d Longitude of Xanfo, Here was a new Occafion for cutting my Map to Pieces However glad to redify fuch enormous Errors, and to find it a daft in ny Power to attain°the Complelenefs which I aimed at, with refped.to ' this im¬ portant Part of Nova Scotia, I made the neceflfary Alterations, and fent it to be pnoraved over again, in the Manner it now ftands. 1 cannot forbear on this Occafion to renew my Suit to Navigators, to con¬ tribute to the Perfedion of Charts, by making Obfervations of ^Latitude at everv place they touch at, however inconfiderable, whenever they have an Op¬ portunity They fee what Difficulties the Geographers are put to ; and what considerable Miftakes they are led into, both by their Negleds to make Obferva- ISaSSfSS in making them.
