ABSTRACT
These are the chief Paradoxical Positions in Matters of Geography, which mainly depend on a thorough Knowledge of the Globe; and though it is highly probable, that they will appear to some as the greatest of Fables; yet we may boldly affirm that they are not only equally certain with the aforesaid Theorems, but also we are well assured, that there is no Mathematical Demonstration of Euclid more infallibly true in itself than every one of them. However, we think it not fit to pull off the Vizor, or expose those marked Truths to public View; since to endeavour the unmasking of them, may prove a private Diversion, both pleasant and useful to the ingenious Reader, at his more vacant Hours . . .
