to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o reader_n the_o design_n i_o owe_v to_o father_n coronelli_n cosmographer_n to_o the_o republic_n of_o venice_n but_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n and_o have_v write_v

i_o dare_v not_o presume_v to_o say_v i_o have_v commit_v no_o error_n but_o i_o hope_v they_o be_v not_o material_a and_o be_o more_o afraid_a of_o omission_n than_o mistake_v but_o whatever_o they_o be_v i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o mend_v they_o in_o a_o second_o edition_n and_o therefore_o shall_v take_v it_o kind_o if_o any_o body_n will_v impart_v to_o i_o their_o remark_n and_o correction_n
