It must be sepal sous to remark on the obvious superiority
of the Plata of the separate Road Books here offered to the
Public, over those at present existing. Every Traveller has
felt the inconvenience of carrying with him an unwieldy and
expensive Book, containing all the Roads in England, con-
fuied airmen books generally are, by unintelligible references
from one earl to another.
By the plait now submitted to the public, every great Road
may be purchased separately, in a small and cheap, yet elegant
form, which may be carried in an ordinary pocket-book : and
which suites with its portable size, singleness of *ref., and
contains every 'pixies of Information which the Traveller ran
desire. The absurdity of being obliged, in travelling any par-
ticular road, "to carry all England in your pocket, is so palp-
able, that it must be matter of wor.der that the convenience,
pleasure, awl economy of Travellers have nut hitherto been
consulted by a prnrn•un like the present.
Printed fif Richsid Phillips, Bridge street, Blackfriars; and
to be had of all Kookvallins,Pust-~tasters, and principal Ina-
keepers is brat Britain, with an extra allowance in the par-
WYNN et quantities.
