Book Description

Excerpt from The Journey From Chester to London The ground which is described in the following sheets, has been for some centuries passed over by the incurious Traveller; and has had the hard fortune of being constantly execrated for its dulness. To retort the charge, and clear it from the calumny, is my present business. To shew that the road itself, or its vicinity, is replete with either ancient historic facts, or with matter worthy of present attention, is an affair of no great difficulty. Possibly my readers may subscribe to the opinion, that the tract is not absolutely devoid of entertainment, and that the blame rests on themselves, not the country. Whatsoever entertainment they may meet with, let them join with me in thanks to the following contributors.
