They can hardly be the Author's own Additions,
since they are said to be large ones; and we have seen that Mr.
Carew's Design in the intended second Edition of his Survey, was not
so much for the enlarging it, as the correcting his and the Printers
Oversights. However it be, we may reasonably wonder that a Work so
valuable, and the only compleat one we have on that Subject, should
not have been reprinted since the Year 1602; whereby it is become so
scarce, and bears such an excessive Price. Perhaps this is owing to
the false Rumours which have been spread from time to time, that it
was going to be reprinted with large Additions. For these idle common
Reports have often prevented new Editions of useful and necessary
Books. But it is to be hoped, that some publick-spirited Persons will
reprint it, as it was first published. If any body hath any Additions
or Supplements to it, they may print them separately.
Mr. Carew (P)
"was intimate with the most noted Scholars of his Time,
particularly with Sir Henry Spelman, who in an Epistle (*)
to him concerning Tythes, doth not a little extol him for
his Ingenuity, Vertue, and Learning.
