and Deva, Danum and Coccium, where the victorious legions 
of imperial Rome were quartered for many generations, but 
even the garrisons of cohorts were frequently connected by 
vicinal ways. Such were the roads from Mancunium to 
Olicana, and from Olicana to Cambodunum. Throughout 
the lines of these ancient ways we find that the name of 
" Street" perpetuaUy recurs ; and this quite as frequently on 
the Iters undistinguished at their intermediate posts by fixed 
Roman remains as those which have them. Between Purston 
Jacklin and* Bradford on one hand and Dewsbury on the 
other, this name is repeated five times, although the streets 
run between places which have never been accounted Roman 
at all, notwithstanding, their geographical positions in rela- 
tion to each other, prove them to have been coeval with, the 
streets themselves. Before closing these remarks, I will ask 
your attention for a few minutes longer, while I mention 
another Iter, the accounts of which have been much per- 
plexed. Warburton, the Somerset Herald, who published a 
Roman map in 1753, was a native of Lancashire. His natural 
taste led him to the study of Roman history ; and observing 
many itinera witli ancient pavements for the most part un- 
afiected by time or tread still existing in the region of the 
Pennine chain, he bestowed great iabour in the investigation 
of Iters which were shortly destined, in many places, to be 
enclosed, diverted, or made into turnpike roads, and in some 
instances to be wholly obliterated. One of his Iters, which 
is more intimatety associated with those I have already men- 
tioned, is that which he traces from Manchester to Ilkley. But 
there are errors in this particular survey which have misled 
such authorities as Whitaker, of Manchester, and TVatson, of 
Halifax ; and which put Dr. Thomas Dunham Whitaker to a 
pause : for he makes but the slightest mention, in his " His- 
tory of Whalley,'' of such a road being in existence. This 
author ought certainly to have investigated a subject worthy
