;;8 ON THE COST OF CARRIAGE. 



high price at Collyweston in Northamptonshire, and as the 

 bursar's account says transferred it from the quarry to Cam- 

 bridge by ' land and water.' The nearest water (as far as I 

 can make out the map) to Collyweston is Wansford on the 

 Nen. Thence it must have been taken by barge down the 

 Nen, till it could be transferred to the Ouse and Cam. The 

 distance appears to me to be very great, and the price, 8s. a 

 load for carriage, to be very low. Wansford appears to be 

 six miles from Collyweston.
