THE ROAD
Profit, Conveniency, and Pleasure,
to the whole Nation.
Being a short Rational Discourse, lately
presented to His Majesty,
Concerning the
High-ways of ENGLAND:
Their Badness, the Causes thereof, the Reasons
of those Causes, the impossibility of ever having
them Well-mended according to
the Old way of mending.
But may most certainly be done, and for ever so
maintained (according to This New way)
substantially, and with very much Ease.
And so,
That in the very depth of Winter there shall not
be much Dirt, no Deep-Cart-rutts, or High-ridges; no
Holes, or Uneven Places; nor so much as a loose stone
(the very Worst of Evils both to Man and Horse) in
any of the Horse-Tracts.
Nor shall any Person have cause to be once put out of
his way in any hundred of miles Riding.
Printed for a Publick good in the Year 1675.
