 of White Curt, with two cotton mills. 



Buxton, (Derb. E.) a town in the Peak coun- 

 try, witli a manufafture of cotton. But the chief

C A E R L EO M , (Alon . E. ) fituated on the Uflc, about 

 three miles above Newport, was once a magnificent 

 city, but now dwindled to a poor village. It is pre- 

 ferved from utter defolation by a tin work, an iron 

 forge, and a little coalling intercourfe with Briftol, 

 which, though it is about five miles from the fea, it 

 enjoys by favour of the tide, which flows remarkably 

 high in all the rivers of the Briftol channel. 



Caledon, ,, Tyi: I.) a village on the Blackwater, 

 inhabited and furrounded by weavers and bleachers, 

 who are generally alfo farmers.

 ton goods. Many of the women Ipin wool for Stir- 

 ling, and flax for Glafgow ; and the girls are em- 

 ployed in tambouring. Some years ago many pearls 

 v.'ere found in the River Teith ; but the immoderate 

 judufti-y of the gatherers has almoil extirpated the 

 fpecies of the muflel which breeds them.

 Ihare of the fine clothing trade. 



Cambridge, an antient city, giving its name to 

 the fliire, has forae bufmefs in fending butter, put 

 up with a flight fprinking of fait, to London. The 

 expenditure of the ftudcnts at the univerfity funiifties 

 the principal employment and fubfiilcnce of the ir.- 

 habitants. Stourbridge, or Sturbicli, fair, held in 

 September under the authority of the nragiilrates of 

 Cambridge, is ftill famous for the fale of wool, cheefe, 

 hops, horfes, Sec. though here, as in other fairs, lefs

 mg from 6 to 10 fathoms of water. At the difl;ance 

 of three miles there is a mine of coal, which is car- 

 ried to the town by a canal. The hemng filhery, 

 and the works connetfted with it, are the principal 

 objefts of attention. The pernicious di;l-llery of 

 wdent fpirits, and fpinning for diftant manufaclures, 



were the only other braucliLS of induflry here, till 

 the manufacturers of Glafgow began to fend hither 

 cotton yarn to be woven, and muflins to be tam- 

 boured.

 ufafturo of knit flocking?, and fome mills for throw-

 tic induflry. 



Canterbury, (Kent, E.) is an antient city, the 

 archiepifcopal fee of the primate of all England, and 

 a county ol itfelf. This city formerly derived great 

 emoluments from the refort of pilgrims from all 

 countries to worlhip at the ftirine of S'. Thomas. 

 Being deprived of that lucrative trade by the change 

 of rehgion, Canterbui-y feems to have had little em- 

 ployment for its people, till the revocation of the 

 edift of Nantes drove many induftrious French artif- 

 ans into this countr)^ fome of whom eftabliihed man- 

 ufaftures of filk goods here. The filk trade having 

 lately dcchned, lome manufaftures of cotton goods, 

 and filk and woolen mixt goods, have been fet up.

 vefTels of 100 tuns up to it, by favour of the high 

 tides ufual in the Briftol channel, though it is 8 or 

 9 m.iles up the river, and then by enables it to have 

 fome coaiting and inland trade. .
