Thus I have recounted the names of places contained in this excellent
map, to the number of 250; whereof 100, marked in this catalogue thus
*, are wholly new, or ill-placed by former writers. The reader versed
in these kind of inquiries, will find no small number of them; to
his judgement I leave them: as to me, the finding fault with others
endeavours is very disagreeable. This I may say; it sets us right
in abundance, wherein before we had no guide but conjecture, from
similitude of names: as, for instance, _Uxella_, placed in some great
authors at _Lestwthiel_, _Cornwall_, is in _Somersetshire_, viz. at
_Barton_, where the Roman road called Foss crosses the river, a little
north of Ilchester. Many more might be specified, where only a map can
properly direct us.
