An EXACT DESCRIPTION OF IRELAND Chorographically Surveying all its Provinces Counties After a more Accurate Plain Easie and Particular Manner than any before done in this kind Shewing the Exact STATE of that Kingdom and all the Principal Things that are Necessary to be known And 5 Maps relating thereto With an INDEX of all the Provinces Counties Baronies Cities Towns Forts Castles Rivers Lakes Havens Bays Mountains Promontories c. In such a manner as may serve for a Geographical DICTIONARY for IRELAND Very Useful for the Right Understanding the p●…esent Affairs of that Kingdom Done according to the latest Surveys and agreeing with all the New MAPS By LAURENCE EACHARD of Christ-College in Cambridge London Printed for Tho. Salusbury at the Sign of the Temple near T●…mple-Bar in Fleetstreet 1691. THE Preface IRELAND is at present a Place of very Considerable Action and of so nigh Concern to this Nation that I thought a short Description of it could not be very unacceptable in so Curious an Age tho●…gh offer'd by One who has so lately troubl●…d the Publick with something of this Nature Since it is usual for Authors to give some Account of their Works in their Preface I shall do so of this and that as briefly as I can In making of it I have observed as good a Method as I could and have been also as particular not leaving out any thing that ought to be known or was necessary to make it Compleat not only observing those Things that were purely Chorographical and Modern but also such as were Historical and Ancient In the Provinces and Counties I have also been very Methodical agreeing with each other even to the equal Number of Paragraphs so exactly that what is in one may be found in all and have given them all the true Dimensions according to the latest Survey The Towns I have Describ●…d as largely as I could from any A●…thor I could procure tho' perhaps not so largely as some may expect m●…ntioning m●…re than I can find in any other Book always beginning with the most Northern Town in the County as nigh as I could and going on in such Order shewing their Distances all the way in English M●…les the 60th part of a Degree as may be most easily found in the Maps I have shewn the Distance of the chief Town in each County from Dublin the chief of the Kingdom The Index I am sure must be of good use to all such as desire to understand the History and Affairs of this Country And for the speed●…er finding of those Places there mentioned I have set the Longitude and Latitude of all the Towns and Castles according to P. Lea's and H. Moll' s Map That this Index might be of greater and more general Use I have named many more Places than are in the Book tho' perhaps there be not enough to satisfie every One's Curiosity yet I have left out none that deserved any thing of Observation I must desire the Reader to take Notice That I have mentioned very little of these late Wars those no ways belonging to my Design but have as I have hinted elsewhere taken care as much as I could to rep●…esent all things as they were or ought to have been before these Troubles began But howsoever I have taken particular Notice of all such Places as have been any thing Notable in these Times and have often given some small Hints for Distinction sake Perhaps it may also be expected that I should give a List of the Governors and several Officers with an Account of the Number Condition c. of the Souldiers with other Things concerning the Present State of this Kingdom But these Things by reason of the many Alterations every Day are extreamly difficult to do and are quite from my Design therefore I shall leave 'em to such as have more Convenience and better Intelligence than my self reckoning notwithstanding their Omission that this Book fully answers the Title-Page By reason of the little time I have had to write this Book possibly I may have committed some small Faults perhaps in the exact Number of the Parishes Boroughs Castles c. which were very difficult to get if there be any such I hope the Impartial Reader will not take Notice of them to my Disadvantage If there be found any fault in the Description of the Wild Irish it must be attributed to my Authors who were not altogether so Modern as I could have wished The Business of these Times and the present want of such a Description has made me somewhat more hasty than I would have been But however I have endeavoured to do every thing as well and exact as the time would permit THe Five Maps herein contained are one General Map of the whole Kingdom divided into Provinces the other Four are the Provinces divided into Counties BOOKS lately Printed for and sold by Tho.
