	I shew the Distance of a Place sometimes from three or four others, sometimes more, and sometimes less; if it be an ordinary Place, the Distance is sometimes given only from one City, if that be of great Note; as, Ostia from Rome, and Bavay from Mons; sometimes from two Cities, as, Niville from Mons and Brussels. The Distance of great Cities (I mean the chief of Provinces, and some others that are reckoned of the Second Rank) are most commonly given from those of equal Note, or the same Rank, though at a good Distance, and also from the Metropolis of the Countrey, though never so far off; as for Instance, Mantua in Italy, and Munster in Germany; but for the Chief of a Country, as London, Vienna, Paris, and Constantinople, the Distance is given from those, and only those of the same Rank; as in London the Distance is given from all the chief Cities in Europe; and Vienna, the Distance is given from Buda, Cracow, Rome, Amsterdam, Paris, London, and Constantinople; so likewise the rest.

	For the Longitude and Latitude of Places, I must acquaint the Reader, that I have calculated 'em all according to F. de Wits newest Maps; so that by the help of those Maps, and Place may be found with great ease and quickness: sometimes perhaps I may have mistaken Minute or two. The first Meridian, according to him, begins at Teneriff, one of the Canary Islands; but in Sanson's and Berry's Maps, the first Meridian

	is made at Ferro, two Degrees more West than Teneriff: So that if any Place be sought for in their Maps, there must be two Degrees allowed in the Longitude; so for Instance, what is there 20 and 30, must be reckoned as 18 and 28.

	If this Book should fall into the Hands of some that do not know what Longitude and Latitude is, this is to let 'em know, that in all Maps, the top is the North, the bottom the South, the right hand the East, and the left the West; (or at least should be so) the Distance from the West to the East, is Longitude; and from the South to North, is Latitude; all which may be easily seen by the Figures that are in the Sides, Tops and Bottoms of every Map.

	That all these things that I have spoke of, might be easily put into so small a Volume, and that it might want nothing that could with any probability, satisfie any curious Enquirer, I have explained all things by Abbreviations and Figures, and with a Character for that Purpose: So that if every thing had been done at length, the Book must have been at least three times as large; which would have made it of far less Use, and lost it much of the Original Design, which was Multum in Parvo.
