AND APOTHECARIES, Gentlemtn, THE auibsr is a native of the common- wealth of Maffdchufetis, where he was inllru6led in the medical art, according to the methods that were in vogue in the younger part of his life ; but as there was no regular fyftem of pharmacy, phyfic, or furgery to be found, he foon difcovered that both the theory and practice of medicine, flood in great need of reformation and amendment in our Ameri- can borders. He obferved that the medical books had been compiled by different aa/;&arj, in differ- ent periods of time, as the medical artwajrif- ing to higher and higher degrees of perfeSion ; and that, although they had been judicioufly written, and contained fome things which ought to be publiQied from generation to generation, y«t they frequently gave different accounis concerning the virtues, operations and efftfts. of mediclnts, upon the human body ; tfae de- fcription, 4 PREFACE. fciiptioh of difeafes, and t"he mffthodsof "pVe-* fcribing remedies for their cure. That there was no eftablifhed rule for a guide to the apothecaries in compounding their medicmes, as fome compounded according to the prefcriptions given in onedifpenfatory, and others according to thofe given in another, &c. as there was a number of fuch books in ufe : hence a variety of medicines were compound- ed and fold under one and the fame name, which had difFerent degrees of ftrength, and this proved to be an evil mode pf pra6iice, be- caulc ir had a direft tendency, not only to de- lude the mod Ikilful phyficians, in the admin- iftration .of pioper dofes, but to expofe the lives of the people by thei'r taking too large and fometimes too fmaii quantiiies of fuch comr p0UTld5. He alfo ohfervcd, that the methods of in«- ftrufclion wf re like wife different, amongft the different teachers of the healing art : that fome pupils had beca taught o»e way, and others a- nother, Sec. and that, by their being thus dif- ferently infhufted, they , had imbibed different Opinions concerning the virtues of medicines, and the cure of difeafes. — fherefore, when they met to confuit upon difficult and danger- ous cafes, they could not agree in prefcribirag remedies ; and that fuch difagreements too frequently terminated in contention and dif- coid to the great injurj. of thei^- patients. Therefore, for the purp'ofe of laying a foun* daiion for the removal of thofe clouds of dark-. ne!s and ignorance, which too tnany had im* bibed — P R E F A C K. c bibed hy the reading of erroneous books, and by being wrongly inftrufted, he undertook in September, in the year 1772, to compile an American Dij'penfatory, and afterwards a fyjlem oi phfic, and Jurgery ; and to make the work as complete and ufeful as our knowledge in the prefent age will admit, he travelled in nine cf our American Governments ; and in England, Scotland, Ireland, and France ; for the pur- pofe (jf colleQing an account of the new medi- cal difcoveries and improvements which have made in the different parts been of the world j and that he might be furniQied with all the medical light and information he could pofli^ bly obtain, he attended lefiuresupon the vari- ous branches of medicine, and upon natural and experimental philofophy in Europe ; and re- turned to America after near three years ab» fence ; has diligently followed travelling and medical ftudies fince his return ; and finds, by his Journal, that he has travelled 11,607 i^i'es by land, and 1 1,578 miles by water. His productions are ready for the Prefs and he is greatly miftaken, if he has not colltticd a larger number of new mcdicaldifcoveries and improvements, than ever was colkfted in any former period of time fince the world began. Thefe new difcoveries, together with an account of.thofe things that hav-c flood the tefl of ages in the cure of difeafes, are intended for a con-.- plete medical library, anatom^y .excepted.

We came in the courfe of our voyage to Trapezus, a Greek city in a maritime fituation, a colony from Sinope, as we are in- formed by Xenophon, the celebrated Hiftorian. We furveyed the Euxine fea with the greater pleafure, as we viewed it from the lame fpot, whence both Xenophon and Yourfelf had formerly ob- ferved it. Two altars of rough Hone are ftill landing there ; but, from the coarfenefs of the materials, the letters infcribed upon them are indiftincliy engraven, and the Infcription itfelf is incor- rectly written, as is common among barbarous people. I deter- mined therefore to erect altars of marble, and to engrave the In- fcription in well marked and diftinct characters. Your Statue, which Hands there, has merit in the idea of the figure, and of the defign, as it reprefents You pointing towards the fea; but it bears no refemblance to the Original, and the execution is in other re- fpects but indifferent.

AUTHOR OF MODERN AND ANTJENT GEOGRAPHY FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS. STEREOTYPED BY J. HOWE. PHILADELPHIA: BLANQHARD AND LEA. 1851. G- PREFATORY NOTE INDEX OF DR. BUTLER'S ANTIENT ATLAS. It is to be observed in this Index, which is made for the sake of complete and easy refer- ence to the Maps, that the Latitude and Longitude of Rivers, and names of Countries, are given from the points where their names happen to be written in the Map, and not from any- remarkable point, such as their source or embouchure. The same River, Mountain, or City &c, occurs in different Maps, but is only mentioned once in the Index, except very large Rivers, the names of which are sometimes repeated in the Maps of the different countries to which they belong. The quantity of the places mentioned has been ascertained, as far as was in the Author's power, with great labor, by reference to the actual authorities, either Greek prose writers, (who often, by the help of a long vowel, a diphthong, or even an accent, afford a clue to this,) or to the Greek and Latin poets, without at all trusting to the attempts at marking the quantity in more recent works, experience having shown that they are extremely erroneous.

Bureau of Insular Affairs at the Lou­ isiana Purchase Exposition, held at St. Louis, Missouri, during the summer and fall of 1904, was a considerable collection of fishes from the Philippine Islands. This collection had been made under the direction of the Philippine government for the specific purpose mentioned. At the close of the exposition the authorities turned the entire collection over.to the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries for study and report. The localities represented in the collection are as follows: San Fabian, Pangasinan, Luzon.~San Fabian is situated on the Gulf of Lin­ gayen, about 100 miles north of Manila. The collection from this place was made by Mr. C. L. Hall and is a-large and important one. Bacon, Sorsoqon, Luzon.-Sorsogon is the most southern province of Luzon. Bacon is situated in the northern part of the province, on Albay Inlet, in approxi- mately latitude 130 3' north and longitude 1240 east. Bulan, Sorsogon, Luzon.-Bulan is on the west coast of Sorsogon, near the southern end of the province, approximately in latitude 120 38' north, longitude 1230 22' east.

By Sir ISAAC NEWTON. LONDON: Printed for J. TONSON in the Strand, and J. OSBORN and T. LONGMAN in Pater-noster Row. MDCCXXVIII. TO THE QUEEN. MADAM, As I could never hope to write any thing my self, worthy to be laid before YOUR MAJESTY; I think it a very great happiness, that it should be my lot to usher into the world, under Your Sacred Name, the last work of as great a Genius as any Age ever produced: an Offering of such value in its self, as to be in no danger of suffering from the meanness of the hand that presents it. The impartial and universal encouragement which YOUR MAJESTY has always given to Arts and Sciences, entitles You to the best returns the learned world is able to make: And the many extraordinary Honours YOUR MAJESTY vouchsafed the Author of the following sheets, give You a just right to his Productions. These, above the rest, lay the most particular claim to Your Royal Protection; For the Chronology had never appeared in its present Form without YOUR MAJESTY's Influence; and the Short Chronicle, which precedes it, is entirely owing to the Commands with which You were pleased to honour him, out of your singular Care for the education of the Royal Issue, and earnest desire to form their minds betimes, and lead them early into the knowledge of Truth.

The want of a general chronological view of the coinage of the ancients has long been felt by all who have devoted any study to this branch of archaeology. It is this want which I have here made a first attempt to supply. In the choice and classification of the coins described in the following pages, I have throughout endeavoured to keep simultaneously in view the historic, artistic, and strictly numismatic interest of the coins selected. Thus, and thus alone, have I found it possible to present to the spectator a tolerably complete representative series of the gold and silver money current throughout the ancient world in approximate chronological order.
