Exposing [person] Indirect
General Survey In The Even the county maps which are extant already published
of for several of the English counties taken from national
survey are of such a size that every field
is distinctly marked. The parish maps should
be drawn out into a scale still larger: as large
if they were as large as the county maps, not
only each house might be inserted, but the
plan of each house might be distinctly visible.
The county maps might be divided into squares
which should be adjunct determinate parts of a square
mile: and the maps of wards and hamlets
might again be divided into squares which
should be alignd determinate parts of these in the county maps.
These squares in the ward and hamlet of maps
might be brought down so low as to be no more
than equal to the ordinary dimensions of a small
house. By this means in each house would have
its determinate precise locus in the ward and hamlet
maps determined by the number or numbers of the square or squares it occupied:
of each of which squares the locus would be determined by
its situation in the larger square of which it
formed a part. [Each house would by this means
have its precise longitude and latitude.] The maps
that individual proprietors have of their estates might may be consider'd as so many alter'd and discordant fragments of this general survey.
