Mr. Peter Yates Advertisement I Thought it necessary to give this publick notice to all that Subscribed to this Book That several Impressions of Seals came to me enclosed in Letters but the Gentlemen who Writ them mentioned not to whom each particular Coat belonged for want of those Directions I was obliged to omit several but have left a Plate and given Orders for the Engraving of them So that if those Gentlemen be pleas'd to send an Impression of their Arms to Mr. Sturt an Engraver near the White-Lyon in Red-Cross-Street in London they may have their Arms Engraved and that Plate annexed to the rest Place this before the first Plate of the Arms. A New Map of LANCASHIRE CHESHIRE DERBYSHIRE in w ch are Delineated most of y e Towns Rivers Meers Places Relating to y e Natural History of these Countries by Charles Leigh Doctor of Physick THE Natural History OF LANCASHIRE CHESHIRE AND THE PEAK in DERBYSHIRE CHAP. 1. Of the Ancient Inhabitants and of the Air in those Counties LANCASHIRE my Native Soil hath its Denomination from Lancaster the County Town an Ancient Corporation in which there are many and spacious Buildings It is Situated upon the River Lune of which I shall have occasion to treat hereafter This Country was formerly Inhabited by the Brigantes who settled behind the Mountains towards the Western Ocean From what Country these Men came is not very certain as Mr. Cambden affirms some deriving them from Spain others from the Alps and a third sort giving them that Name from the Piracies they committed as the French However thus far we may conclude They were a Warlike People inhabiting amongst the Ancient Britains and the further Disquisition of that matter I leave to the Antiquaries it being forein to this Undertaking Wherefore I shall hasten to the Natural History and according to my design'd Method First Treat of the natural and various Temperaments of the Air and afterwards of the unusual Phaenomena which have hapen'd in that Element However before I leave the Ancient Inhabitants of this County take a farther Account of them given by that Learned and Eminent Antiquary Mr. Hollingworth once Fellow of the Collegiate-Church of Manchester his Manuscript being now Reposited in the Publick-Library there The Ancient Inhabitants says he of Yorkshire Lancashire Westmorland Cumberland and Durham were the Brigantes their chief City was York sometimes call'd Brigantia In Vespasian's Time Petilius Cerialis struck a Terrour into the whole Land by Invading at his first Entry the Brigantes the most populous of all the whole Provinces many Battles and some Bloody ones were fought and the greatest part of the Brigantes were either conquer'd or wasted I dare not be positive in Matters of so abstruse a Nature but my own Opinion is That they Originally were Phoenicians and this I shall in some measure endeavour to make out from the Name of the Island in general and the Phoenician Name of a River in these parts As to the Island it self as some have asserted it was anciently call'd Bratanac that word in the Phoenician Language signifying Tin which was the chief product of the Isle they Traffick'd in However tho' that may seem to admit of a debate yet it is well known to be the Custom of the Eastern Nations to express themselves by Allegories Metaphors and concise Expressions and so the Hypothesis is not irrational As to the derivation of the word Britannia it may thus be accounted for in another sense Brit in the British Language signifies Paint and all our Historians agree the Britains were a painted People and as is imagined made use of the Juice of Glastum or Woad and the Land at that time probably had no other Name save that Monosyllable But upon the Phoenicians arrival to Trade upon their Coasts which chiefly they did in Cornwal where the Tin Mines were discover'd and whose Inhabitants were call'd by the Greeks Cassiterides it is very likely then their Weights which were the Standards of Commerce were made of Tin Lead perhaps not being then discover'd Hence it may be the Phoenician Merchants to the word Brit added anac which in the Phoenician Language is Poise or Ballance by which they Trade nor do the Arabians differ much from that stiling it ana which
