Compendium Geographicum OR A More Exact Plain and Easie INTRODUCTION INTO ALL GEOGRAPHY Then yet Extant after the latest Discoveries or Alterations Very Useful especially for Young Noblemen and Gentlemen the like not printed in English By Peregrin Clifford Chamberlayne of the Inner Temple Gent. LONDON Printed for William Crook at the Green Dragon without Temple Bar 1682. TO THE Right Honourable CHARLES Lord HERBERT Son and Heir to the Lord Marquess of Worcester My Lord THE Honour that I have had of your Lordships most obliging Kindness and Favour in your Travels abroad hath animated me humbly to beg your Lordships Patronage over these my first Fruits not that by this Enchiridion or small Pocket-book I pretend to add any thing to the Knowledge of a Person who before he had attained to the Age of thirteen Years et Mores Hominum multorum vidit et Urbes and who now at the Age of twenty is endowed with so much Judgment Wisdom and Discretion as appears every day my Lord by your eminent Service towards your King and Country in a most diligent and dextrous administration of Justice Not I say that this Epitome of Geography can add to your Lordships Knowledge but only that when your Lordships Illustrious Name shall appear in the Front hereof it may the sooner encourage the young Nobility and Gentry of this Nation to make use of it which is the main Aim of MY LORD Your Lordships Most humble and Most obedient Servant P. C. Chamberlayne THE PREFACE I Will not go about to say very much in commendation of this Science neither could I speak its praise enough to satisfie my self had I that intention therefore I will leave it to some more skilful Encomiast But I cannot sufficiently admire to see it thus neglected in a Nation where all other Arts and Sciences do flourish and abound in so great a measure No excuse ought to suffice any well bred Person for his ignorance in Geography this being a Science and I may truly say the only Science that comes within the capacity of all Mankind whether old or young Men or Women for any one may easily attain to the knowledge of it that has but a Memory a few Maps and a little Method and methinks he that is ignorant of it especially if a Man of parts must needs blush every time he reads the Gazette and cannot give an account in what Country is seated such a Place or Town of note and surely he must be strangely out of countenance to hear himself baffled in Geography by every ordinary Seaman Yet I hope there will not be found among our Oxonians that shall assert the Moors came out of Greece as did a Gentleman of the Vniversity of Paris because part of this Country is now called Morea and I can speak of my own knowledge of a young Minister beyond Sea who took Copenhagen to be the name of a Dutch Commander I may be bold to say that this Science is not necessary in our daily conversation only for he that understands it has no less advantage towards the reading of any History and he cannot but acknowledge that his skill in Maps gives an extraordinary light to what he reads Besides no one will deny but that it is also very delightful to travel round the Earth and visit each part thereof without danger and without quitting their Native Country Friends and Relations And seeing that God has allotted the Earth and all that is in it to be under the Jurisdiction of Man it seems as if they who are wholly ignorant of the Form and Dimensions of this Lower World and of the Situation Extent or Division of it's Parts did in some sort slight and despise the Creation 'T is true there are other Sciences not a little advantagious to him who will throughly understand a History as Chronology and Genealogy yet Geography is placed before these of course for the Question is generally asked first Where and afterwards When and by Whom this or that thing was done Moreover God having created the Earth before he made Man it would seem something absurd to be well versed in the state of Humane Affairs and altogether ignorant of the Countries wherein they were acted Knowing that a good Method ought chiefly to be observed in this as well as in other Sciences I have therefore imitated that of Monsieur de Launay a very learned Man in his Introduction to Geography printed two or three years ago in France from whence I translated what made most for my purpose but from the beginning to the end of this small Treatise I have endeavoured to observe that Brevity which I first proposed to myself therefore if any esteem this Volume too little for the Subject whereof it treats I must Apologize for my self and it with Brevitas Memoriae Amica nevertheless I will at the same time affirm without any thing of Vanity that there is no Geography now extant in English except one of two of a large Bulk and larger Price that treats so fully as this of all the parts of the known Earth with their Subdivisions I confess I have inserted very little of the Historical Part that it might be the more compendious and to make the more room for what belongs purely to Geography which induces me to hope that the Reader will here find Magnum in Parvo To conclude I have taken all the care imaginable to render this Geography clear and easie even to the meanest Capacity and not to spell the Proper Nomes wrong or miscall them an Error too frequent in most others by which confusion the Reader is not seldom discouraged to proceed in what he began perhaps with no small delight Concerning the Vse of the Globe and Maps MY Intention at first was to have enlarged a little more upon this Subject of the Use of Maps but Mr. Guy Miege has lately prevented me with a Treatise called A new Survey of the whole World wherein as well this point as all others relating to Cosmography are discussed by way of Dialogue I will therefore be as brief as possible at least concerning any matter whereof he has already treated Geography in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. a description of the Earth is compounded of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifies the Earth and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to write or describe Here the Earth must not be taken simply but for one Element as in Natural Philosophy but must be understood to be a Terraqeous Globe that is a Globe composed of two Elements Earth and Water which together make one Spherical Body commonly called the Earth as being the name of the more worthy part This Science differs from Cosmography as one part doth from the whole for the word Cosmography has a signification far more comprehensive as is demonstrated by its Erymology being derived from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the World and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to describe now by the World is meant the Heavens
