                            The most popular road-book of the late 18th century, its practical format fitting the traveller's pocket.
An index at the front of the book includes the dates of the market days in each town, and a section at the back contains a handy list
of distances between towns where Assizes were held for each of the Circuits of the Judges.
Also given are short descriptions of the great houses and their owners near the particular route described.
Came later to be referred to as the English Baedeker.
