Preface Pages Paterson's Hampshire 1785-93

lesser roads

THE FOLLOWING ROADS being Either those of Lesser Note, OR BRANCHES FROM THE GREATER, Are described in LETTER-PRESS to prevent the swelling of the Work to too great a size.

This Part of the Work is so contrived as to be read Upwards, which not only continues a Similarity through the Whole; but, it is presumed, will be found no Small improvement, as, by this Means, the Traveller and his Eye will be moving in the same Direction; whereas, in the usual Way, while he is proceeding, Stage by Stage, towards any Place, he is reading, Line by Line, the contrary Way.

N. B. Cities are printed in Roman Capitals, as YORK.

County Towns in Italic Capital, as READING.

Market Towns, Post Towns, and principal Stages, in Italics, as Dartford

The Letters r. and l. stand for Right and Left.

The Columns of Figures on the Right of each Road is the Distance of the several Towns, &c. from London; that on the Left, the Distance from Town to Town, which is placed opposite to the Space betwixt the Two Names, so as to be of equal Use to a Traveller whether coming from, or going to, any particular Place.
