This work will be of great use for all men, and necessary for all
families, because it contains exact accounts of all the provinces,
colonies, and mansions of that spacious country, where, by a general

He doubts not but it will be translated into foreign languages by
most nations of Europe, as well as Asia and Africa, being of as

designs to procure patents and privileges for securing the whole
benefit to himself from all those different princes and states, and
