Mr. OGILBY's Design For Carrying on His BRITANNIA .

HIS Majesty having been graciously pleas'd to grant the Undertaker Authority for a General and Actual Survey of the Kingdom of England and Dominion of Wales , and to refer the Consideration and Inspection of the Deligh to 〈…〉 Privy Council ; upon whose Report of the Computation of the Charge to 14 thousand Pounds , and the possibility of perfecting it in good time by a general Subscription , His Majesty was farther graciously pleas'd to be the first Royal Example , by Subscribing 500 l for His Royal Self , and 500 l. more for his Royal Consort .

The Author seriously considering that whatever of this nature has been hitherto attempted , comes infinitly short of the Perfection the Importance of the Subject requires ; whether Respect be given to the Historick Part , in which not a Tenth , and sometimes a Twentyeth Part of the Towns have been so much as mention'd ; nay , oftentimes the very Hundreds wholly omitted ; or the Geographick Part , wherein , as Mr. Norden complains , No Actual Dimensuration was ever perform'd , but a Computation of Distances , by a Cursery Perambulation , made up the Original Work , from whence , whatever Mr. Cambden , Speed , or of late one Blome have since done , are but onely Copy'd , with this ill Fate , That as the Original Errors were not onely transferr'd to , but augmented by the additional ones of the later Mapps ; so now lastly , the very Performance it self rendred much worse than the meanest of what was before Extant .

This has oblig'd our Author to take new Measures , to lay a Foundation worthy so Eminent a Structure , even such an one as may stand a perfect Model to succeeding Ages ; not doubting but by an Encouragement suitable to the worthiness of the Undertaking , to compleat within the space of two Years , a WORK whereof it may be modestly said ; That considering the Actual Survey of the Kingdom , the Delineation and Dimensuration of the Reads , the Prospects and Ground plots of Cities , with other Ornamentals , nothing of this Nature requiring so vast a Charge , and such indefatigable Labor and Enquiry , was ever yet attempted either at Home or Abroad . And this according to the following Method ,

By dividing the WHOLE into Six fair Volumes . The Four first comprehending the Historical and Geographical Description of England , with the County-Maps truly and actually Survey'd , viz.

The first Volume containing the South Part of the Kingdom , or the Seventeen Counties of Essex , Kent , Sussex and Surrey ; Hampshire , Dorsetsh . Wiltsh . and Glocestersh ; Hertfordsh , Middlesex , Berksh . Bedfordsh . Buckinghamsh . and Oxfordsh . ; Somersetsh . Devoush . and Cornwall .

The Second containing the midle Part of the Kingdom , or the Sixteen Counties of Suffolk , Norfolk , Cambridge , and Huntingdon ; Northampton , Rutland , Leicester and Warwick ; Worcester , Hereford , Salop , Chester and Stafford ; Derby , Nottingham , and Lincoln .

The Third containing the North Part of the Kingdom , or the Six Counties of York and Lancaster , Westmerland , and Cumberland , Northumberland , and the Bishoprick of Durham .

The Fourth containing the Principality of Wales , viz. Auglesey , Fliut , Denbigh , Carnarvan , Meri●neth , and Montgomery , in North-wales : Cardigan , Carmorthen , Pembrook , Radnor , Brecknock , Glamergan , ( and Monmouth , now English ) in South-wales .

The fifth containing an Ichnographical and Historical Description of all the Principal ROAD-WAYS in England and Wales , in two Hundred Copper Sculptures , after a New and Exquisite method .

The Sixth containing a New and Accurate Description of the Famous City of LONDON , with the perfect Ichnography thereof , according to It 's Six and Twenty Wards , in a fair large Volume , Illustrated with the Scenography of all Eminent Buildings and Places belonging thereunto .

The whole WORK attended , with Four large Maps of the Kingdom of England , each containing between Twenty and Thirty Sheets of Royal Paper , according to the Four first Volumes of the BRITANNIA , and Two other Maps of the like Size of the Cities of London and Westminster , curiously and accurately perform'd beyond whatever has been yet attempted for any City of the Universe .
