ever described it; and if we would take an account of the Climate of it by this
vast compass of Earth, we must begin from the 64^th degree of latitude, and
So to the 71; but in longitude it must extend at least to the 27^th Meridian, or
more. Moreover if we will compute the longitude from journies that have bin
made thither, all hitherto have unanimously put the beginning of it about the
38^th degree, and the end in the 65^th. And this may suffice partly for an
account of the situation of Lapland in general; and partly of that which is
subject to the Swedes. Dam. à Goes, a Knight of Fortugall, sets its bounds
thus in his description of Spain: Lapland is divided into the Eastern and Western
part, the Bothnick Sea coming between. The extremity of it is Tornia. Eastward
it reaches to the white Lake, towards the North comprehending diverse Provinces,
and extends it self beyond all knowledge. On the West towards Island it joins to part
of Norway, and on the other side of Norway ’tis bounded with Swedland, Finland,
and both the Bothnia’s. But Ol. Petr. Nieuren confutes this of the Bothnic Sea
lying between; for so part of Lafland would lie in Finland or Ostrobothnia,
part in Westrobothnia, which every one knows is false: and the very vulgar
can tell so much, that the Bothnic Sea comes not anywhere within 18 or 20
miles of Lapland: tho this ought not to pass beyond Damianus’s time, since
Nieurenius himself confesses in another place, that the Laplanders had their seat
about the Bothnic Sea, but that afterwards they were driven out, of which I
shall speak hereafter. I will only add here a Table of the latitudes and
longitudes of the chiefest Places, as they were taken by M. Aronis Forsius and
Hieronymus Birckholten Ann. 1600.
