UPPER-SAXONY.
Of the Circle 0/' Upper-Saxony w general.
§. I. ' ^HIS circle, on account of its extent, cannot well be reprefented
I
f on one fingle flieet of the ufual fize of land-charts, fo as to
afford us a diftinft and comprehenfive view of it, for which reafon it is divided
into the fouth and north ;
to each of which a proper Hieet is allotted:
but there is ftill, however, wanting a juft mathematical and hiflorical reprefentation
of the fea-coafts. The charts of the fouth part which were publiflied
by Sanfon have been improved by 'JaiUot and copied by Mortier. Thofe
which de Witt, Vifjcher, Valk and IDankert, as alfo the firft which Homaiin
publiflied, are equally faulty with the foregoing. In the year 1731, Homanns
heirs publidied a better in the largeft fize, which chart was delineated
by Philip Henry and Frederick Zollmann ; and, in 1734, they gave us alfo
another, in the ufual form or fize, with the improvements of Zolhnann and
Zxirner ; which chart, in the Atlas of Germany, confiitutes the forty-fifth.
Of the north part of this circle de Witt, Vijfcher, Valk, Danken and Hoinann
have furnifhed us with feparate charts ; all which require an improvement.
That of Homann^ confiitutes the fixtieth in the Atlas of Gerrnany.
§. 2. This circle terminates on that of Franconia, the Upper-Rhine and
the circle of Lcurr-Saxofiy,
as alfo on the BaJtic-Jea, PruJ/la, Poland, Sile/ia,
