Excerpt from Patents for Inventions: Abridgments of Specifications Relating to Roads and Ways, A. D. 1619 1866

In compiling the present series strict regard has been given to the title of the work, and no Inventions but such as were considered to have a fair bearing upon the con struction and maintenance of roads and ways have been admitted; various Inventions which might seem at first sight to relate thereto, but which in reality have a different obj ect, being ex cluded. Thus Inventions relating to the construo tion of tesselated or mosaic pavements are not included, such pavements not being suitable for roads; while as re gards tiles, which are chiefly adapted for floors, yards, and roofs, and the composition of cement and artificial stone, those Inventions only are included which seem particularly applicable to the subject of the present series.
