This New England coast is roughly indicated in Venazzani's Plot Of 1524, and better on Mercator's of a few years later, and in Ortelius's "Theatrum Orbis Terarum" of 1570; but in Smith's map we have for the first time a fair approach to the real contour. Of Smith's English predecessors on this coast there is no room here to speak.

That inveterate and pernicious habit, which makes this course the safest one, is one that he speaks of in the Advancement of Learning, as that which has been of 'such ill desert towards learning, as 'to reduce it to certain empty and barren generalities, the mere husks and shells of sciences, good for nothing at the very best, unless they serve to guide us to the kernels that have been forced out of them, by the torture and press of the method, the mere outlines and skeletons of knowledges, 'that do but offer knowledge to scorn of practical men, and are no more aiding to practice, as the author of this universal skeleton confesses, 'than an Ortelius's universal map is, to direct the way between London and York.
'For we see remote and superficial generalities do but offer knowledge to scorn of practical men, and are no more aiding to practice, than an Ortelius's universal map is to direct the way between London and York. And what is this itself but a universal map, this map of the advancement of learning?
