198 POETS AND PURITANS receive. We are addressed as if we had made a voyage to Nova Zembla and suffered five persecutions in Japan. " The roads were bad in England, as we see in Cowper's letters, and in Scotland they were worse. " l " The highways were tracks of mire in wet weather, and marshes in winter, till the frost made them sheets of ice, covered with drifted snow. . . . Even towns were often connected only by pack-roads, on which horses stumbled perilously along and carriages could not p...ass at all, over unenclosed land and moorland, where, after rain, it was difficult to trace any beaten track. " A stage-coach took twelve hours for the 46 miles be- tween Glasgow and Edinburgh and ran twice a week. The inns were dirty in a degree beyond our experience. 8 There was one alleviation ; there were no highwaymen, for the roads made the profession unremunerative. Boswell for instance records how they slept on hay ; how when they had " a most elegant room " once, " the pillows were made of the feathers of some sea-fowl which had to me a disagreeable smell " ; and how conversely, when they had each " an elegant bed " the rain came in at a broken window and turned the clay floor into a puddle.
