<HEAD>Mr. OGILBY's De&s;ign For Carrying on His <HI>BRITANNIA.</HI></HEAD>
<P>HIS Maje&s;ty having been graciou&s;ly pleas'd to grant the Undertaker Authority for a General and <HI>Actual Survey</HI> of the Kingdom of <HI>England</HI> and Dominion of <HI>Wales,</HI> and to refer the Con&s;i|deration and In&s;pection of the Deligh to <GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 span"> Privy Council; upon who&s;e Report of the Computation of the Charge to 14 thou&s;and Pounds, and the po&s;&s;ibility of perfecting it in good time by a general Sub&s;cription, His Maje&s;ty was farther graciou&s;ly pleas'd to be the fir&s;t Royal Example, by Sub&s;cribing 500 <HI>l</HI> for His Royal Self, and 500 <HI>l.</HI> more for his Royal Con&s;ort.</P>
<P>The Author &s;eriou&s;ly con&s;idering that whatever of this nature has been hitherto attempted, comes infinitly &s;hort of the Perfection the Importance of the Subject requires; whether Re&s;pect be given to the Hi&s;torick Part, in which not a Tenth, and &s;ometimes a Twentyeth Part of the Towns have been &s;o much as mention'd; nay, oftentimes the very Hundreds wholly omitted; or the Geographick Part, wherein, as Mr. <HI>Norden</HI> complains, <HI>No Actual Dimen&s;uration was ever perform'd, but a Computation of Di&s;tances, by a Cur&s;ery Perambulation, made up the Original Work,</HI> from whence, whatever Mr. <HI>Cambden, Speed,</HI> or of late one <HI>Blome</HI> have &s;ince done, are but onely Copy'd, with this ill Fate, That as the Original Errors were not onely transferr'd to, but augmented by the additional ones of the later Mapps; &s;o now la&s;tly, the very Performance it &s;elf rendred much wor&s;e than the meane&s;t of what was before Extant.</P>
<P>This has oblig'd our Author to take new Mea&s;ures, to lay a Foundation worthy &s;o Eminent a Stru|cture, even &s;uch an one as may &s;tand a perfect Model to &s;ucceeding Ages; not doubting but by an Encou|ragement &s;uitable to the worthine&s;s of the Undertaking, to compleat within the &s;pace of two Years, a WORK whereof it may be mode&s;tly &s;aid; That con&s;idering the <HI>Actual Survey</HI> of the Kingdom, the Delineation and Dimen&s;uration of the <HI>Reads,</HI> the <HI>Pro&s;pects</HI> and <HI>Ground plots</HI> of <HI>Cities,</HI> with other <HI>Ornamentals,</HI> nothing of this Nature requiring &s;o va&s;t a Charge, and &s;uch indefatigable Labor and En|quiry, was ever yet attempted either at Home or Abroad.
