N ADVERTISEMENT, DIRECT ROADS That the Distances may correspond as nearly as possible withthe Milestones on these Roads, they are reckoned from th cus-tomary Standards. At the conclusion of each Route, where the length is such asto render it useful, a Return Route is added, exhibiting at oneview the immediate distance from stage to stage, without thetrouble of subtracting; to which method of calculation the Tra-veller would otherwise find it necessary to resort. The reckoningon this Back Route is also continued to the General Post Office,for the purpose of preserving the plan of the First Edition to thosewho may consider it essential. Example—Page 3.
