Friday, June 15.--l was agreeably surprised to find the whole road from Thirsk to
Stokesley, which used to be extremely bad, better than most turnpikes. The gentlemen had
exerted themselves and raised money enough to mend it effectually. So they have done for
several hundred miles in Scotland, and throughout all Connaught in Ireland; and so they
undoubtedly might do throughout all England, without saddling the poor people with the
vile imposition of turnpikes forever.
