The Duke was, it feems, remarkably handfome in his perfon, to which the fecond line has reference. H'S Is Tempelmanni numeris defcripferis orbem. 2 Myrias Egypto ceffit bis feptima pingui. Parthenope. * To the above Lines (which are unfinished, and can therefore be only offered as a fragment), in the Doctor's manufcript, are prefived the words, "Geographia Metrica." As we are referred, in the firit of the verfes, to Templeman, for having furnished the numerical computations that are the fubiect of them, his work has been accordingly confulted, the title of which is, "A new Survey of the Globe," and which profeffes to give an accurate menfuration of all the cmpires, kingiems, and other divifions thereof, in the square miles that they refpe&ively contain. On comparison of the Averal numbers in thefe verfes with thofe fet down by Templeman, it appears that nearly half of them are precisely the fame; the raft are not quite fo exactly done. For the convenience of the Reader it has been thought right to fubjoin each number, as it stands in Templeman's work, to that in Dr. Johnton's verfes which refers to it. In this first article that is verfified, there is an accurate conformity in Dr Johnson's number to Templeman's; who fets down the fquare miles of Palestine at 7,600. 2 The fquare miles of Egypt are, in Templeman, 140,700. 3 The whole Turkish empire, in Templeman, is computed at 960,057 fquare miles. In the four following articles, the numbers, in Templeman and in Johnfon's verfes, are alike.-We find, accord |
