 Having before observed how much he should feel obliged to those Travellers who would do him the favour to communicate notice of any Error which they may occasionally detect in this Work, it may appear intrusive again to solicit their attention; but the Proprietor hopes his anxiety will be excused, in consideration of the advantage which the Public must feel, in having a Work of this nature correct in all its parts, and that to render it so exceeds the possibility of individual exertion.—In the performance of this task, he has used his utmost endeavours to make his Book complete, and flatters himself, that in the Delineation of the Roads few Errors will be found; but it scarcely needs remark, that in giving the numerous Seats which this Work describes, some mistakes must occur, to rectify which, he takes the liberty of observing, that nothing can so effectually contribute, as the information of the intelligent Traveller, whose assistance he most particularly requests; as also that of Gentlemen of local information, to whom he would consider himself highly indebted for their communications, to which the utmost attention will be paid.

It would add to the obligation, if Gentlemen, when they communicate information, would have the goodness to sign their Name and Address, as it frequently happens that further explanation is necessary, and it would remove any doubt as to authenticity.
