given us every thing which has hitherto been wrote 
in Support of the Claim made by each Place to the 
Honour of riling out of the Ruins of that ancient 
Town 5 together with his Reafons for fixing that 
Station at Londesburgh\ all which I beg Leave to

vitia has been fix'd at ; viz . Weight on, Godmanham, 
and Londesbilrgh. ■ See the Map in Tab. X.
