ples to sive a Man a Notion of a Counery ia
which heis a stranser, we produce a Map 10
him. Nou a Mapis only Paper and Inte, which
in themselves have very little likeness 1e Farth,
Mountains, Valleys, Lakes, and Rivers. Tet
none ean deny, but by Proportion and Analosy
they are very instructive; aud if any sould
imarine, thas those Countrys are really Paper,
because the Maps that represent em are made
os it and sould seriousty dra Conclusions
from that Supposition, he vould expose his Dn-
derstandine. Hlis Crace herein plainls mis-
takes the VCC oF Maps, Wrhich arc, not de-
tien d coreprelent Mountains, Valleys, Lakes
and Rivers, to chose who haveno Ideas oF
Them. Maps suprose Men to hare thole

Men chose Ideas, but by Marks aereed on
