Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jefferson´s Notes, on the State of Virginia: With the Appendixes Complete; To Which Is Subjoined, a Sublime and Argumentative Dissertation, on Mr. Jefferson´s Religious Principles An exact description of the limits and boundaries of the state of Virginia? Virginia is bounded on the Fast by the Atlantic: on the North by a line of latitude, crossing the Eastern Shore through Watkins´s Point, being about 37. 57´ North latitude; from thence by a straight line to Cinquac, near the mouth of the Patowmac ; thence by the Patowmac, which is common to Virginia and Maryland, to the first fountain of its northern branch: thence by a meridian line, passing through that fountain till it intersects a line running East and West, in latitude 39. 43´. 42.4". which divides Maryland from Pennsylvania, and which was marked by Messrs. Mason and Dixon; thence by that line, and a continuation of it westwardly to the completion of five degrees of longitude from the eastern boundary of Pennsylvania, in the same latitude, and thence by a meridian line to the Ohio on the West by the Ohio and Missisipi, to latitude 36. 30´. North: and on the South by the line of latitude last mentioned. By admeasurements through nearly the whole of this last line, and supplying the unmeasured parts from good data, the Atlantic and Missisipi are found in this latitude to be 758 miles distant, equal to 30. 38´. of longitude, reckoning 55 miles and 3144 feet to the degree.
