PLAIN OF TROY. C H A P. X. Examinaîion of Mr Woods Map. ANeglect of the opinion and of the efforts of others, isthe natural refult of a confcioufnefs of ones own fupe-riority ; and though a fentiment of that kind may be deemedfomewhat arrogant, yet it has fome claim to indulgence whenit is really attended with fuccefs. But when, in open contemptof every guide, we wander far away from the truth, we thenforfeit ail title to mercy, and become obnoxious to the rigourof criticifm.

It would not hâve been anycrime in Mr Wood to hâve overlook
