was not observed, and so myself made an Instrument, but
not the Author of Wrong and Error. I imagine that I may
cull out of Master Sollicitor's Garden many Flowers to
adorn this other Edition; and if I wist where to find
Mr. Norden, I would also fain have his Map of our Shire;
for perfecting of which, he took a Journey into these Parts."

Mr. Carew never published a second Edition of his Book, tho' he lived
fourteen Years after the writing of that Letter. And whether he left
behind him a Copy of it revised and corrected for a new Impression,
does not appear. It hath indeed been reported, that there was a Copy
extant with large Additions (O); but they don't tell us whose
Additions they are. They can hardly be the Author's own Additions,
since they are said to be large ones; and we have seen that Mr.
Carew's Design in the intended second Edition of his Survey, was not
so much for the enlarging it, as the correcting his and the Printers
Oversights. However it be, we may reasonably wonder that a Work so
valuable, and the only compleat one we have on that Subject, should
not have been reprinted since the Year 1602; whereby it is become so
scarce, and bears such an excessive Price. Perhaps this is owing to
the false Rumours which have been spread from time to time, that it
was going to be reprinted with large Additions. For these idle common
Reports have often prevented new Editions of useful and necessary
Books. But it is to be hoped, that some publick-spirited Persons will
reprint it, as it was first published. If any body hath any Additions
or Supplements to it, they may print them separately.
