eurodances, that a great trade mufi of course crutar

other towns in and near the Iqwer Cokafe ; Its dis,

Portsmouth to Dover .(with good tranfportaiion by
water) about twelve miles; from Dover to Lieut.
Charles Rogers at .the eaflerly part of J,id Lake,
(land carriage aid very ? good road) short of 30,
miles ; th±n across the L^ke to Senter harbour, about

as the fazd Moulton is greatly engaged in bufinefa
