 township of Ireland, will pass through it ; this 

 route has been already marked and blazed in 

 the field, and mile-posts fixed along the whole 

 of its distance. 



Lingwick, in the county of Buckingham,

 on its other sides b}^ the unsurveyed townships 

 of Weedon, Stratford, and Hampden. This 

 tract of land is very similar in quality to the 

 level district of Dudswell: the timber upon it
