BOOKS PUBLISHED BY SAMUEL LEIGH. 



The title promised niiicli ; and, as far as 

 can rationally be expected from a little vo- 

 lume of conveuient dimensions for a travel- 

 ler's pocket, what is promised seems to be 

 fnlrtlled. The routes are conveniently and 

 luciJly arranged, and tlie references, by 

 which repetitions are avoided, are so speci- 

 fied as to produce uo perplexity. — Monthly 

 Magazine. 



Onr readers will observe, by the title-page 

 of this volume, that it is not a mere dry 

 List of Roads, but professes to contain much 

 more comprehensive and amusing informa- 

 tion than may be expected in works of tliis 

 kind; and we may affirm, that tlie title-page 

 does not promise more than the work really 

 performs. The descriptions are clear and 

 pertinent without being redundant. In fact, 

 among innumerable productions of fliis writ- 

 ing and travelling age, we have not, for a long 

 time, met with any other of the same nature 

 so well calculated to amuse the reader, and 

 to deserve the attention of the public. — Sun. 



Mr. Leigh has made as much improvement 

 in the Road Book as has been made in tlie 

 roads themselves within the last few years. 

 The work of Mr. Leigh comprises, within 

 tlie size of a pocket volume, more real in- 

 formation than was formerly contained in a 

 bulky octavo. A copious Index, and an ex- 

 cellent Map of England and Wales are added 

 to the volume, and render Leigh's Road 

 Book a work which uo traveller ought to 

 be without. — Star. 



Independently! of the utility of this book 

 to the professed traveller, it possesses a 

 great mass of information, classified and ar- 

 ranged in the simplest, and, at the same 

 time, most intelligent manner, necessary for 

 all persons. Without being too prolix on 



any subject, it treats of every one in the 

 least degree connected with the nature of 

 the work, and whilst it informs, never fails 

 to amuse. — Sunday Monitor. 



A more aijreeable and instructive com- 

 panion to the tourist or traveller, than the 

 one now before us, we do not recollect to 

 have seen. — Morning Post, 



A very eiicellent pocket-companion to the 

 tr.iveller of every description has just ap- 

 peared, under the title of Leigh's Road- 

 Book ; the arrangement is novel, useful, and 

 entertaining — BelVs Messenger. 



It is of a neat portable form, its informa- 

 tion is compact and well-digested, and its 

 arrangement lucid and precise. — Sunday 

 Times. 



For succinctness, compactness of shape, 

 and an excellent adaptation to its object, we 

 know, at present, of nothing with which 

 the travelling public has more reason to be 

 satisfied, than with this useful and interesting 

 book of Mr. Leigii's. — Taunton Courier. 



One of the neatest, and — as far as we can 

 judge, who know little of statistics — most 

 coiDplete publications that have appeared 

 lately, is Leigh's Uoad-Book of England and 

 Wales. The arrangement is so clear, that 

 you can turn in a moment to all the various 

 lines of road to any particular place, as well 

 as to the principal Cross Roads throughout 

 the countiy. The descriptions of the cities, 

 towns, and remarkable objecls on every road, 

 witliout pretending to be elaborate, seem to 

 be done with industry and care, and to in- 

 clude all those matters of fact which it is so 

 important to the hurried traveller to know. 

 The volume is very neatly printed and 

 adapted to the pocket in two pleasant parti- 

 culars — namely, size and piice. — Exam.

and SCOTLAND, on which are accurately delineated all the Direct and

 it will prove an entertainina^ and instructive companion ; and to the risius^ youtii, it 

 will be an amusing introduction to the kuowledge of the times in vvliich he lives.
