Geographical Cards, Made and Sold For Henry broom at the Gun in S. t Pauls Church-yard.  
London 1676  Gr. King Sc. r.   


The Contrivance of these Cards is so plain and perspicuous, that the use of them in all our English Games, as of common playing Cards, is to be shown in few words.  
THe four Suits are the four Parts of the World; and not without some Reason or Analogy, the Hearts describe Europe, the Diamonds Asia, the Spades Africa, and the Clubs America or the West-Indies.  
Each Ace divides a Quarter of the World into its known and General Division, and shows its Latitude and Longitude; the other Cards of the same svit subdivide those Countries into their more exact and usual Parts, giving the Names of the chief Places, and showing the Latitude and Longitude of the Country to which the carded belongs.  
All the Coat-Cards( as Kings, Queens and Knaves) are reduced to ten Heads or Divisions.  
All the other Cards without any force contain precisely that number of Kingdoms, Countries, Provinces and other Divisions, which gives the Name to the carded.  
The General and Particular Divisions, with the Latitude and Longitude of Countries are the same as in the Maps of the Sieur Sanson that modern, famous and allowed French Geographer.  
The great and infinite Benefit of obtaining and retaining a System of Universal Geography so easily, pleasantly and familiarity is so apparent as not to need any Argument or Persuasion.
