The admirable simplicity and elegance of these discourses, are only exceeded by the truth and force of the doctrines taught in them.

The present volume consists of the author's Theatre of Britain (originally dedicated to King James I.) with large additions. To that work alone, the commendatory verses by Tho. Barkham, Sir Henry Spelman, Rich. Saint-George, Norroy King at Armes, Jo. Davies, and Jo. Sanderson, relate; as also "the Contents of the Chorographicall part" which follows, being an index to the County-maps. The additional matter contained in this volume is shown by the title-page here copied, where the figures refer to the folios on which the maps are to be found: these were inserted to make the work a complete atlas and system of geography; they are dated 1626, except the first (the map of the World) which has the year 1651. The description of the Bermudas or Summer Islands is long and interesting: at the foot of the map is a list of all the merchant-adventurers for the year 1622, with accounts of their After these interpolations, comes the beautiful frontispiece of the royal arms, and the ingraved title, which belong to the original work:

Imprinted at London, Anno 1650. Are to be sold by George Humble at the Whit-horse in Popes-head Alley."

The maps of this latter work are mostly dated 1610; the frontispiece 1614: the date of the title has been evidently altered, as also in the edition of Speed's History described at p. 78-9, the title of which (except the words) seems to have been printed from the same plate. The following sheet is signed "E;" evidently showing how the preliminary part had been disjoined from it to make way for the new matter. The plates were ingraved by Dutch artists, and are very beautiful specimens of the art they are printed on the two inner pages of the sheet, the outer pair being left for the geographical “ Description ;" and in the county-maps the last page of each contains an Index of the names of places, which was the origin of the Villare Anglicum, published by Sir Henry Spelman, and of the larger Index Villaris, by Adams. At fol. 35 the author notes, "This Description of Northfolke, I received from the right worshipfull Sir Henry Spelman, Knight." Bp. Nicholson remarks on this, and says, that Speed's "Maps make a noble apparatus (as they were designed) to his History." (English Historical Library, ch. I. and see a critique on his History at p. 94-5, first ed. So.) The Theatre of Britain is very highly commended in Bohun's edit. of Wheare on reading History, § 31. (1694, 8o. p. 166-170.)
