the Industry of those who going to Eighty Degrees Latitude sound Mountains crusted with Ice in that Sea Tho' in time dissolvable by the violence of a Tempest forbids us to assert of Maritime Places Better Arguments might be brought from the Diurnal Motion and the Nature of Coelestial Vortices which peradventure wou'd produce some variety in a Spherical Figure so that this Hypothesis shou'd not seem to be altogether neglected especially since amongst Oval Figures by reason of the small difference of Diameters almost Parallel at the Section of a Cone or Cylinder they do not much differ from the Figure of a Circle Caspar Eisenschmit hath therefore confirmed this Argument with great probability and illustrated it with the Demonstrations that were needful Of which at present we must say no more since it requires a separate Work and Demonstration assuredly In our Journey we long sought after some places of the Earth situate in some Plain stretching from South to North by advantage of which we might Be more certain of the true measure of Degrees in Northern Latitudes and by comparing them with the more Southerly collected by the Pains of others we also might give our Judgment of the Figure of the Earth but the steep tops of Mountains the Moorish Grounds and inaccessible Woods render'd our Desires unsuccessful Lastly We hope that this our little Work will not be unacceptable to Mathematicians abroad tho' it were only for that Doctrine of Refractions lightty attempted from which occasion they will not disapprove of our Opinion to make Tables of them in the several Parts of the World For as we do not at all doubt that they increase according to the different Account of Elevations in places nearer to the Poles so in those placed in the Aequator and next to it if there shall be any Refractions we believe they will be very little And from hence when the Reason is asked why the Polar Stars are not seen by those who Sail under the Aequinoctial and yet it is probable that the Stars placed in the Aequator may be discerned from the Poles if there was any Observer We think that amongst other Reasons this of Refractions is not of the least Moment And if it be true which Mandeslo asserts in his Travels in the Thirteenth Chapter that he saw not the Arctick Pole except beyond the Sixth Degree on this side of the Aequator but the Antartick beyond the Eighth It follows besides other Reasons that the Refraction from the Northern Part of the Earth is greater than from the Southern To Confirm which we cou'd bring many probable Arguments if the Matter was to our purpose 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 FINIS BOOKS Printed for and Sold by Edward Castle NEAR WHITE-HALL I.
