END OF INDEX TO THE COUNTRY SEATS.
It is obvious, from the common occurrences of human life, that in the account of Seats, the Proprietor’s names must ever be subject to inaccuracy; but the author can with confidence assert, that up to the period of publication, every possible means has been adopted to obtain the most accurate information on the subject. As in some few instances, however, a difference will be found to occur, in the name attached to the Seat upon the Map, and that mentioned in this Index, the latter must be adopted as the name of the present Proprietor.
GENERAL AND TOPOGRAPHICAL
INDEX
TO THE
DIRECT AND CROSS ROADS
CONTAINED IN THIS WORK.
COMPREHENDING ALL THE
CITIES, BOROUGHS, MARKET TOWNS, VILLAGES, POST STAGES,
AND OTHER REMARKABLE OBJECTS,
WHETHER SITUATED ON, OR CONTIGUOUS TO, THE ROAD,
WITH A DESCRIPTION OF EACH,
TOGETHER WITH
THE DISTANCE OF THE SAME FROM LONDON.
The first Column contains the Distance from London; then follows the Name of the Place and County in which it is situate, the Figures of the Page where it will be found, and a Description of the same, together with the Number of Houses and Inhabitants.
In stating the distances, the fractional parts are dropt, where they do not amount to three quarters of a mile; where they do the quarter is added: thus Bromley, which in the rout (page 16) appears to be nine miles and three quarters from London, is given in the Index as ten: where the same place occurs more than once, the difference of distance is not noted, the first distance only being set down; but it may be instantly seen by turning to the page.
