London:Publishid by Sutaly, June 1.1808.

IN my travels, as I walked through many regions and countries, it was my chance to happen into hat famous continent of Universe. A very large and spacious country it is. It lieth between the two poles, and just amidst the four points of the beavens. It is a place well watered, and richly

lorned with hills and vallies, bravely situate: and for the most part (at least where I was) very *ruitful, also well peopled, and a very sweet air.

The people are not all of one complexion, nor et of one language, mode, or way of religion : but differ as much as (it is said) do the planets emselves. Some are right, and some are wrong, en as it happeneth to be in lesser regions. In this country, as I said, it was my lot to trael, and there travel I did, and that so long, even id I learned much of their mother tongue, toge er with the customs and manners of them among hom I was.. And to speak truth, I was much elighted to see and hear many things which I aw and heard among them: yea, I had (to be re) even lived and died among them, (so was I aken with them and their doings,) had not my Master sent for me home to his house, there to business for him, and to oversee business

SITUATION OF MANSOUL TOWN.

Now, there is in this gallant country of Universe, a fair and delicate town, a corporation, called Mansoul; a town for its buildings so curi. ous, for its situation so commodious, for its privileges so advantageous, I mean with reference to its original, that I may say of it, as was said before of the continent in which it is placed, there is not its equal under the whole heaven.

As to the situation of this town, it lieth just between the two worlds, and the first founder and builder of it, so far as by the best and most authentic records I can gather, was one Shaddai, and he built it for his own delight. He made it the mirror and glory of all that he made; even the top piece beyond any thing else that he did in that country; yea, so goodly a town was Mansoul, when it was first built, that it is said by some, the gods, at the setting up thereof, came down to see it, and sang for joy. And as he made it goodly to behold, so also mighty to have dominion over all the country round about. Yea, all was commanded to acknowledge Mansoul for their metropolitan, all was enjoined to do homage to it; ay, the town itself had positive commission and power from her King, to demand service of all, and also to subdue any, that anywise denied to do it.

There was reared up in the midst of this town, a most famous and stately palace; for strength it might be called a castle; for pleasantness, a paradise; for largeness, a place so copious, as to contain all the world. This place the King Shaddai intended but for himself alone, and not another with him; partly because of its own delights, and partly because he would not that the terror of strangers should be upon the town. This place. Shaddai made also a garrison of, but committed the keeping of it only to the men of the town.

The wall of the town was well built, yea, so fast and firm was it knit and compact together,
