Seite 422 - For formerly every man that had occasion to travel many journeys yearly, or to ride up and down, kept horses for himself and servants, and seldom rid without one or two men; but now, since every man can have a passage into every place he is to travel unto, or to some place within a few miles of that part he designs to go unto, they have left keeping of horses, and travel without servants ; and York, Chester, and Exeter stage-coaches, each of them with forty horses apiece, carry eighteen passengers...
