and Brutality here that the Evils of England have been occasioned by nothing more than a false fear taken at their Names His other Character of the People of England is that they are Enemies to Strangers For which I never could learn a better Argument than that of Mons Sorbieres see Dr. Sprats Observations upon the Voyages of Mons Sorbiere because he was rudely called Monsieur and not respected in the quality of Historiographer Royal to the K. of France by the Children and Schoolboys of Dover For long before the reception of the French Protestants the numbers of Strangers at Norwich Canterbury and London were computed to be more than constantly resided at any twenty Cities either of France or Spain or Italy Virtue Merit and Civility in Persons of a Foreign Country like the Commodities imported thence charm the hearts of the English and have a greater value set upon them than the equal products of our own So far are we from being inclined to be Enemies to Strangers that we are ambitious to be Friends to Strangers even till we are Enemies to our selves It is for their benefit that in the Court of Admiralty we constantly retain the use of the Civil Law and have enlarged it with the addition of those admirable Laws of Oleron published by our King Richard I. which have equalized the Fame and Justice as to Marine causes of the ancient Laws of the Rhodians And how very careful both our Common and Statute Laws are in doing the exactest justice in all Pleas betwixt Strangers and Denizens or the King and Strangers I need only appeal to the Inquest of Medietas Linguae given by the Statutes of the 27. and 28. of Edw. III. Another Part of his Disgraces of the People of England is their Pride and Negligence want of Industry and of a Genius to Works and Manufactures occasioned by their relyance upon the fertility of their Country I must observe he joyns their Pride and want of Industry very ill together For if ever they pretend to be proud of any thing it is of the Effects of their Industry and the Works of their Hands Their Plantations in the West-Indies and Commerce thither Their African Levant East-Indian Russia Groenland Hudsons Bay Spanish French Hamborough and Merchant Adventurers Companies for other Foreign Commerce At Home their Inclosures and Tillage the New Rivers of the Fenns the Coal Mines of the North the Lead Mines of Derby and the Tin Mines of Cornwall the Orchards of Hereford and the Plough-lands of other Counties Their Manufactures in Clothes Stuffs Linnen Iron Copper c. The Quantities of their Commodities transported yearly beyond Sea Their Discoveries in the Mechanick Arts and their Perfection in the Learned Their Books in all the Faculties and Sciences upon all sorts of Subjects Their Restauration of London in three years which was supposed to be the Work of an Age Their Ships of Trade and War their Riches their Knowledge their Power by Land and Sea All these as they are the undeniable Demonstrations of a most Ingenious and Industrious People from the meanest to the highest quality so they are justly verified of the English in the view of the World Who notwithstanding insult over no Foreign State neither detract from the Praises of any greater Trade But if they value and caress themselves upon the happy Effects of their Industry it is a Virtuous Pride that is so well grounded When Monsieur Sorbiere travelled into England he could not but take notice of the Convenient form of the Bridge at Rochester for being so contrived that the Mens Hats cannot be blown over it We have altogether as worthy an Observation here of Mons Morery that the Men of Letters in England often compose their Works with a Pipe of Tobacco in their hands Whereby I truly with regard both to the English and French Men of Letters am as fully satisfied that the Fancies of particular Persons and sometimes of Nations are unaccountable as when I remember that the sage and noble Egyptians of old and from them the Israelites set such a high value upon Garlick and Onions as to honour them with a place in the number of their Titular Deities For if any English Man of Letters is so addicted to the Weed to write and smoak together yet the Fancy of Monsieur Morery seems no less unaccountable first to employ his Observation upon such trivial and insignificant particulars and next to print them in a Voluminous Work amidst the general Character of one of the most illustrious Kingdoms in the World If all the rest of his Geography had been conformable to this of England there had been no occasion to use him in an unpleasing Labour that hath happened to be obtained from me Particularly as to his own Country he spares no Pains nor Eloquence to adorn it And to be sure he suppresses the ancient Glory of the Atchievments of the Victorious English in France as much as possibly he can Indeed the Interests of the French Crown and the Use that Mons Pompone made sometime Secretary of State to Lewis XIV of the Obligations he laid upon the Author are visible not in that only but in the great care that is taken in rehearsing the Titles Pretences and Dependences of the Crown of France as if they did desire to entitle it to all the Ancient Gallia according as it was bounded in the times of Julius Caesar I have followed him throughout his four Tomes from Place to Place leaving his Adulterinae Meroes the Infinite Trash that is in him as undisturbed as Ashes of the Dead to take what is purely Geographical and Chronological proper and easie and short according to the Quality and Genius of the following Dictionary Which is therefore in this Edition not only enlarged with the Antient Geography and all such other Descriptions of Places as occur in the French Work above what it was possible to contain in the Editions of this Dictionary in lesser Volumes and also with some Improvements made in the Geography of England in the like manner But I have further taken care to supply the Defects of the Descriptions themselves in those Editions with whatever accrued that was really necessary to suggest a more perfect knowledge of each Respective Place The Duodecimo ascribed to Monsieur Du Vall Geographer to the French King and printed the fourth time in English 1681. with the Title of a Geographical Dictionary was rather a Geographical Nomenclature than a Dictionary It was Begun to be made properly into a Dictionary by Mr. Edmund Bohun at the Perswasion and Charge of the Proprietor of the Copy And undoubtedly whatever the Faults of Mr. Bohun's Octavo are yet it will always remain an useful Book and a light Companion as he proposeth for Travellers when such is the Necessity and Pleasure of a piece of this Nature in the hands of all that the very Nomenclature of Du Vall is entertaining still But the advancing of this Work
