For many ages coaches were fo great a luxury that none but old families were feen in them; and if they attempted, once in a dozen years, to travel a few miles in one, perhaps, in the courfe of the journey, a whole village with their teams was called in aid, to drag the heavy ve hiele out of the clay, and fet it on its wheels again riding on horfeback being the only means of vifiting aneighbour, beyond the reach of a walk, and that only in the fummer-time. And it is but a very few years fince, that ladies went about, from place to place, upon a pillion.' Made roads were then unknown, and fo little defire had the people to {tir beyond the bounds of their parifh, that even mending them was never thought of.
