Maxwell in the Year M. DC.LX.VIII TO THE DUCHESSE OF NEWCASTLE ON HER New Blazing-World OUr Elder World with all their Skill and Arts Could but divide the World into three Parts Columbus then for Navigation sam'd Found a new World America 't is nam'd Now this new World was found it was not made Onely discovered lying in Time's shade Then what are You having no Chaos found To make a World or any such least ground But your Creating Fancy thought it fit To make your World of Nothing but pure Wit Your Blazing-World beyond the Stars mounts higher Enlightens all with a Coelestial Fier William Newcastle To all Noble and VVorthy LADIES THIS present Description of a New VVorld was made as an Appendix to my Observations upon Experimental Philosophy and having some Sympathy and Coherence with each other were joyned together as Two several Worlds at their Two Poles But by reason most Ladies take no delight in Philosophical Arguments I separated some from the mentioned Observations and caused them to go out by themselves that I might express my Respects in presenting to Them such Fancies as my Contemplations did afford The First Part is Romancical the Second Philosophical and the Third is meerly Fancy or as I may call it Fantastical And if Noble Ladies you should chance to take pleasure in reading these Fancies I shall account my self a Happy Creatoress If not I must be content to live a Melancholly Life in my own World which I cannot call a Poor VVorld if Poverty be only want of Gold and Jewels for there is more Gold in it than all the Chymists ever made or as I verily believe will ever be able to make As for the Rocks of Diamonds I wish with all my Soul they might be shared amongst my Noble Female Friends upon which condition I would willingly quit my Part And of the Gold I should desire only so much as might suffice to repair my Noble Lord and Husband's Losses for I am not Covetous but as Ambitious as ever any of my Sex was is or can be which is the cause That though I cannot be Henry the Fifth or Charles the Second yet I will endeavour to be Margaret the First and though I have neither Power Time nor Occasion to be a great Conqueror like Alexander or Cesar yet rather than not be Mistress of a World since Fortune and the Fates would give me none I have made One of my own And thus believing or at least hoping that no Creature can or will Envy me for this World of mine I remain Noble Ladies Your Humble Servant M. NEWCASTLE THE DESCRIPTION OF A NEW WORLD CALLED The Blazing-World A Merchant travelling into a foreign Country fell extreamly in Love with a young Lady but being a stranger in that Nation and beneath her both in Birth and Wealth he could have but little hopes of obtaining his desire however his Love growing more and more vehement upon him even to the slighting of all difficulties he resolved at last to Steal her away which he had the better opportunity to do because her Father's house was not far from the Sea and she often using to gather shells upon the shore accompanied not with above two or three of her servants it encouraged him the more to execute his design Thus coming one time with a little leight Vessel not unlike a Packet-boat mann'd with some few Sea-men and well victualled for fear of some accidents which might perhaps retard their journey to the place where she used to repair he forced her away But when he fancied himself the happiest man of the World he proved to be the most unfortunate for Heaven frowning at his Theft raised such a Tempest as they knew not what to do or whither to steer their course so that the Vessel both by its own leightness and the violent motion of the Wind was carried as swift as an Arrow out of a Bow towards the North-pole and in a short time reached the Icy Sea where the wind forced it amongst huge pieces of Ice but being little and leight it did by the assistance and favour of the gods to this virtuous Lady so turn and wind through those precipices as if it had been guided by some experienced Pilot and skilful Mariner But alas Those few men which were in it not knowing whither they went nor what was to be done in so strange an Adventure and not being provided for so cold a Voyage were all frozen to death the young Lady onely by the light of her Beauty the heat of her Youth and Protection of the Gods remaining alive Neither was it a wonder that the men did freeze to death for they were not onely driven to the very end or point of the Pole of that World but even to another Pole of another World which joined close to it so that the cold having a double strength at the conjunction of those two Poles was insupportable At last the Boat still passing on was forced into another World for it is impossible to round this Worlds Globe from Pole to Pole so as we do from East to West because the Poles of the other World joining to the Poles of this do not allow any further passage to surround the World that way but if any one arrives to either of these Poles he is either forced to return or to enter into another World and lest you should scruple at it and think if it were thus those that live at the Poles would either see two Suns at one time or else they would never want the Sun 's light for six months together as it is commonly believed You must know that each of these Worlds having its own Sun to enlighten it they move each one in their peculiar Circles which motion is so just and exact that neither can hinder or obstruct the other for they do not exceed their Tropicks and although they should meet yet we in this World cannot so well perceive them by reason of the brightness of our Sun which being nearer to us obstructs the splendor of the Sun of the other World they being too far off to be discerned by our optick perception except we use very good Telescopes by which skilful Astronomers have often observed two or three Suns at once But to return to the wandering Boat and the distresed Lady she seeing all the Men dead found small comfort in life their Bodies which were preserved all that while from putrefaction and stench by the extremity of cold began now to thaw and corrupt whereupon she having not strength enough to fling them over-board was forced to remove out of her small Cabine upon the deck to avoid that nauseous smell and finding the Boat swim between two plains of
