There are
     |two sets of baths, one at the bottom of the town, the other about
     |half a mile from it, they are very convenient, and are much
     |frequented during the season. The borough is a corporation by
     |prescription, and sends two members to parliament. Market on
     |Saturday.
     |
     |About a mile distant are the traces of a Roman Camp, known by the
     |name of _Buckland Rings_, or _Castle Field_.

  122|Maiden Castle, Dorset, 171. This is one of the strongest and most
     |extensive camps in England, and is supposed to be of British
     |origin; its form is an irregular ellipsis, surrounded by treble
     |ditches and ramparts, the former are of prodigious depth, and the
     |latter extremely high and very steep. The entrances to the east
     |and west are strengthened by additional works; the ends of the
     |ramparts lapping over each other, and rendering the outlets very
     |winding and intricate. The inner rampart includes an area of about
     |forty acres, and is nearly a mile and a quarter in circumference.
     |Near the south side is the mouth of a cave, said to extend a
     |considerable way; though it is now choaked up and impassable. This
     |appears to have been a contrivance to obtain water, the river
     |flowing through the valley at the distance of about a quarter of a
     |mile. The ground rises gradually to the centre of the area, which
     |commands an extensive prospect.

     |and 792 inhabitants. It is pleasantly situated on the banks of the
     |Thames, over which is a very commodious bridge of 13 arches. The
     |principal trade of this town is in malt, meal, and timber. The
     |market is on Wednesday.

     |seated on the north side of the Isle of Thanet, and a member of
     |the port of Dover; it contains 1291 houses, and 6126 inhabitants.
     |The principal improvements of Margate have taken place since 1787,
     |when an act of parliament was obtained to rebuild the pier with
     |stone, since which it has become a very fashionable resort for sea
     |bathing. From the increase of company, new buildings became
