GENERAL INDEX
The index at the back of the book has an introduction:-
EXPLAINED.- The Roads from London are distinguished by Italic type, and by Roman Capitals; the figures immediately following the places referring to the page of the route, and those at the end of the line shewing the distance from London.- The Cross Roads are referred to, in the lines underneath, by the number of the section, with this character prefixed [s].
The LOCAL INDICES, as at Aberystwith, below, are distinguished by small Roman print. The letters f signify 'forward,' and r 'reverse.' Thus Aberystwith to Bristol, [s] 17 r, the order of route being reversed and ending at [s] 16. Again, Aberystwith to Atherstone, [s] 17 f: the route continuing forward along the line A i, as explained page 87.
[b] implies branch from the direct line of road. The distance being given from London, the place is easily referred to, on the line from whence it branches.
