M DCCLXX II.
ON Monday the 18 th o f May, for a fecond time, take my
j departure for the North, from C hester ; a city without
parallel for the lingular ftructure of the four principal
ftreets, which are as if excavated out of the earth, and funk many
feet beneath the furface; the carriages drive far below the level
o f the kitchens, on a line with ranges of ihops ; and over them,
on each fide the ftreets, paffengers walk from -end to end, fecure
from wet or heat, in galleries purloined from the firft floor o f each
houfe, open and baluftraded in front. The back courts o f all thefe
houfes are level with the ground, but to go into any of the four
ftreets it is necefiary to defcend a flight o f feveral fteps.
