In countries like England few proprietors
of lands but have maps of their estates: but
these maps being made upon different scales
could hardly be engrafted into a general survey.
I mean supposing them to be consistent: but
but the great objection to them is the inconsistency that
would often be found between the maps of different
proprietors: each proprietor making his map according
to claims and conceptions of his own, which
would be disallowed perhaps by his neighbour. The
thing to be wished then is that the general survey,
made by government might supersede the
private and partial ones: the former if properly
conducted would prevent those law-suits, which the
latter have a tendency to promote.

The interference of government would be requisite
for three purposes. 1. that the parts of the
land estates survey'd upon any occasion might do be so
marked out as to have a reference given them to the geometrical
division of the district into squares which
are determinate parts of a degree: 2. that of the
estate contained should maps of such estates one
copy at least should be laid down upon a scale
which should be the same throughout for every district all over the dominions
