"A Map or Chart of the Road of Love and Harbour of Marriage". Published 12th May 1794 by Laurie & Whittle, 53 Fleet Street, London. Engraved and hand-coloured Georgian fantasy matrimony marriage map, containing Directions for Sailing into Felicity Harbour.

"Directions for Sailing into Felicity Harbour. Fair Virture must your Pilot be; Your Compass, Prudence, Peace your Sea; Your Anchor, Hope your Stoage Love; (To your True Course still constant prove) Your Ballast, Sense, and Reason pure, Must ever be your Cynosure."

"A MAP or CHART of the ROAD of LOVE, and HARBOUR of MARRIAGE. Laid down from the latest and best Authorites & regulated by my own Observations; The whole adjusted to the Latitude 51°30 N by T.P. Hydrographer; to his Majesty Hymen, and Prince Cupid. NB The Long. is recon'd from ye Meridian of Teens."

"From the Sea of common Life, we enter the Road of Love thro Blindman's Straits, between two noted Capes or Headlands, steering first for Money, Lust, and sometimes Virtue, but many Vessels endeavouring to make the latter are lost in the Whirlpool of Beauty; from this Road are many Outlets, yet some Mariners neither steer through these, nor continue their Voyage but come to their Moorings at Fastasleep Creek. Those who proceed reach Cape Ceremony, pass in the Harbour of Marriage through Fruition Straits, and touch at Cape Ecstasy; care must be taken to keep still to the Starboard, lest we run upon sunken rocks which lye about Cape Repentance; a good Pilot will also keep clear of the Rocks of Jealousy & Cuckoldom Bay and at least get into that of Content; some have past pleasant Straits and arrived safe at Felicity Harbour; a Monsoon constantly blows from Fruition Straits quite up the Road, which renders a Passage back impracticable; a Tornado also arises sooner or later in these Parts and drives all Shipping tho moor'd at Content & even Felicity itself, thro the Gulf of Death, the only Outlet, terminating in the Lake of Rest."

Matrimonial maps are spoof maps first known from 18th century England, and became common in 19th century Europe. They depicted states of emotion and stages in relations as mock locations and geographical features in amusing maps, sometimes as detailed as genuine. This map published in London by Laurie & Whittle represents one of the earlier examples, engraved and hand-coloured, and complete with elaborate detail and witty rhymed advise for travellers.

Laurie & Whittle was a British publisher of maps, atlases and prints, founded by Robert Laurie and James Whittle.

Excellent Quality Wire Lugs and Adhesive Heat Shrink Set
Size: 2/0 Awg - 3/8" (M10) Ring, Number of Items: 10
I recently purchased the 10pcs 2/0 AWG-3/8" Wire Lugs Ring Terminal Connectors along with the 10pcs 3:1 Dual Wall Adhesive Heat Shrink set from Amazon and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance of this product! Firstly, the wire lugs are exceptionally well-made with heavy-duty materials. The copper construction ensures excellent conductivity, making them ideal for various electrical applications. The 2/0 American Wire Gauge size with a 3/8" ring terminal is perfect for my specific needs, and they fit securely on the cables, providing a reliable and sturdy connection. The wire lugs come with the corresponding 3:1 dual wall adhesive heat shrink tubes, which are an excellent addition to the set. These heat shrink tubes offer superior insulation and protection, making sure that the connection is secure and insulated against any potential damage or short-circuiting. The adhesive lining within the heat shrink tubes ensures a tight and waterproof seal, further enhancing the reliability of the connection. I found the installation process to be straightforward and hassle-free. The wire lugs are easy to crimp onto the cables, and the heat shrink tubes shrink perfectly around the connection using a heat gun. The adhesive within the heat shrink tubes bonds effectively, leaving no room for any moisture or contaminants to compromise the connection. Overall, I highly recommend the 10pcs 2/0 AWG-3/8" Wire Lugs Ring Terminal Connectors and 10pcs 3:1 Dual Wall Adhesive Heat Shrink set. The quality and performance of this product exceeded my expectations. Whether you're working on automotive projects, marine applications, or any electrical wiring projects, this set will undoubtedly fulfill your requirements. It's a fantastic value for the price, providing reliable and secure connections. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase, and I will definitely be purchasing more in the future for my upcoming projects. Don't hesitate – give this product a try, and you won't be disappointed!

Very nice battery lugs. They are not thin junk & they fit. I used a hydraulic crimper which gave me an excellent crimp. Well worth the money.
