PREFACE 



at a time when the author had not arrived at a settled 

 method ; the second is found in the fact of the Brighton 

 Road being not only the best known of highways , but also 

 the one most susceptible to change. 



When it is remembered that motor-cars have come upon 

 the roads since then, that innumerable sporting " records ' 

 in cycling, walking, and other forms of progression have 

 since been made, and that in many other ways the road 

 is different, it was seen that not merely a re-issue of the 

 book, but a book almost entirely re-written and re-illustrated 

 was required. This, then, is what was provided in a 

 second edition, published in 1906. And now another, 

 the third, is issued, bringing the story of this highway up 

 to date.
