the North and those of the South Temperate Zone their Noon Shadows are alwayes cast towards the South As may be seen in the Anexed Mapp of the Zones 7. Those who Inhabit in the Frozen Zones are called Periscii because their longest day is at least 24 hours in length and therefore the Sun being Carryed Circularly about them their Shadows are also Carryed about them in the same manner CHAP. IV. Of the Division of the Earth by Climates A Climate is that Space of the Earth Contained between three Parrallels the middle most whereof Divideth it into two Equal Parts serving for the setting out the Length and Shortness of the days in every Countrey and for as much as there have been several ways used by the Ancients in Dividing the Climates I shall at present Content my self with this only Division by Reckoning the Differrence of each Climate to be one Quarter of an hour and so the Climates are 24 in Number till you come to the Latitude of 66 Degrees 31 Minutes taking up 48 Parrallels To which are added six Climates more where you will find the days to be One Two Three Four Five and Six Months long at the very Pole it self as you may plainly see in the Annexed Table Where you may Note that the greater the Latitudes are the longer the days are A Table of Climates From the Equinoctial North and South to the Poles wherein you may see in every Clime the length of the day in Hours and Minutes As for Example in the Climate or Parrallel of 50 Deg. 33 Min. you will find the longest day to be 16 Hours and 15 Minutes and in the Margent you find what Inhabitants dwell in those Climates viz. the Amphiscii Heteroscii and the Periscii Latitud Lon. d.

V. Of the Division of the Inhabitants of the Earth Respecting their Site and Position in Reference to One another 1. THe Inhabitants of the Earth are divided into the Periaeci Antaeci and Antipodes 2. The Periaeci are such as dwell in the same Parallel on the same side of the Equator and opposite to us These live in the same Zone and the same Clime and cast the same shade with us These Enjoy our Portion of heat and cold our Seasons of the year our Increase of Days and Nights and all things else of this kind Saving that our Hours are Opposite their six in the Evening is our six in the Morning our Noon their Midnight 3. The Antaeci are Inhabitants that are under our Meridian which makes our hours and theirs the same but by being 51 Deg. 30 Min. on the other side of the Equator it happens that though we all agree in the Temperament of Zones Number of Climes in Casting a Shadow to one side only and the like Yet their Zone and Climate is Southern their Shadow falls to the South Pole their Winter is our Summer our Spring their Autumn 4. The Antipodes are such as dwell Feet to Feet and are in height of Opposition and differ in all things our Summer is their Winter our Noon is their Midnight we have the North Pole Elevated they the South This truth of the Antipodes was in former time Reckoned so Ridiculous and Impossible that Virgilius Bishop of Salisburgh who writ a Treatise thereof was Condemned of Heresy by Pope Zachary in the year of our Lord 745. CHAP. VI. Containing several Vseful Distinctions in Geography THe Latitude of a place is its nearest distance from the Equator either to the Northward or Southward thereof measured in the Meridian 2. The Longitude of a place is the Number of Degrees Reckoned Eastwardly in the Equator from the Grand Meridian to the Meridian of the place required ☞ And here Note that in all the Mapps in this Treatise the Longitude beginneth at the Meridian of Pico Tenariffa Zenith is a Point in the Heavens that is Right over our heads and is sometimes called the Vertical Point and Pole of the Horrizon Nadir is a Point in the Heavens Opposite to it right under our Feet Pixis Nautica or the Marriners Compas Shewing the Names of the Points By Iohn Seller Hydrographer to the King I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XII I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII -- 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 -- 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 -- 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 NORTH North by East North N East North E by Nor.

VII Of the Vse of the Mapps and Tables Contained in this Book THat which hath been already discoursed hath been in the Nature of an Introduction to give you some Light and Understanding in the Principles and Elements of Geography that Concernes the several Distinctions and Divisions of the Earthly Globe by Circles Zones and Climates Discovering the various Positions of the Inhabitants in Respect of their Shadows and Contrariety of Seasons c. Which may very well serve as a good Introduction to that which follows Therefore take notice that to each Mapp there is a Table that is as an Index to shew you what Divisions are in the Mapp and is as it were an Explanation thereoff which you will find very useful for the understanding of them As for Example In the Mapp of the World the Table Informs you of the General Division of the World which is thus worded The Mapp of the World is divided into two Continents The Continent of Europe Asia and Africa The Continent of North America South America Now if you cast your Eye upon the Mapp you may there plainly perceive the same Divisions Circumscribed with one intire Colour with the Name in the midst thereof in Remarkable Capital Letters Then if you desire to know how any of the Quarters are Divided Pitch upon what Quarter you please Suppose Europe Then Apply your self to the Table and there you will find the General Divisions of Europe into the Empires Kingdoms Principalities and Dominions c. Contained in the same with the Principal Cities in each Country then turne to the Mapp and you will see each Respective Division Exactly Answer thereunto as it is Exprest in the Table An Instrument for finding the hour of the Day at all times in any part of the World An Example of the Use of this Instrument If it be 9 a Clock at London what hour is it at any other part of the World therefore turn London to 9 the hour given Then shall the present hour be shewn at all thos places Exprest in the Rundle as you see it is 11 at Constantinople 12 at Aleppo c. A MAPP of the WORLD Shewing what a Clock it is at any time in any part of the World And to know where the People are Riseing and where they are at Dinner wher e at Supper and where going to Bed all over the World Now if you would yet descend into the knowledge of any one particular Countrey or Subdivision in this or any other Empire or Kingdom that is Exprest in the General Table you are to proceed in the same Order and manner as is before Directed CHAP. VIII Shewing the Vse of a Mapp of the World that gives the hour of the day at any time in any part of the World and to know where the People are Rising where they are at Dinner where at Supper and where going to Bed being an Opperation most Diverting and Pleasant to be performed by a Map IT is in all Respects as other Mapps of the World save only that this is Divided into 24 Merididians or hour Circles-Numbred in the Equinoctial with I. II. III. IIII. V. VI. c. to XXIIII the hour Circle of XII passing through the Zenith of London The Vses Follow To find the hour of the Day at any time in any part of the World Having the Mapp before you you may take notice that when it is Twelve a Clock at London then wheresoever you cast your eye it is the same hour at Every Place as is Exprest in the Mapp viz. It is one a Clock at Venice Two a Clock at Constantinople Three at Aleppo and Four at Madagascar c. In the Eastern Hemisphere and in the Western Hemisphere Six a Clock at Jamaica Three a Clock at Califournia c. But Suppose it be any other hour with us at London then for a more ready finding the hour in other places I Refer you to this Adjoining Instrument the Use of which may be made plain by one Example As Suppose it were Eleven a Clock at London then turn London on the moveable plate to the hour of Eleven in the hour Circle then will it shew at that very time the present hour at all those places in the moveable Plate it will be Twelve a Clock at Venice One a Clock at Constantinople and Two at Aleppo c. So the same Rule will tell you at any time the hour of the Day in any part of the World by turning London to the present hour there and all the rest will fall successively as in the foregoing Example To know by the aforesaid Mapp where the People are Rising and where they are at Dinner where at Supper and where going to Bed and where it is Midnight in any part of the World This Problem is grounded upon this Hypothesis that Six a Clock in the Morning may be taken for time of Rising and Twelve a Clock for Dinner time and Six a Clock in the Evening for Supper and Ten a Clock at Night for time of going to Bed and Twelve a Clock for Midnight Therefore Note when it is Dinner time with us at London then they are Rising at Jamaica and at Supper at Surrat and going to bed in the Phillipina Islands a little to the Eastward of China and Midnight in the Pacifick Sea and by the same Rule and Reason you may know the same things at any
