Paterson's Roads was first published in 1771 and went through eighteen editions. Paterson himself had apparently ceased to be involved in the compilation of new editions of this work by 1785, but his name continued to be attached to later editions as in indicator of reliability. Soane also owned the eleventh edition, 1796 (q.v.). Pages [1--190] numbered in columns 1--380. ESTC t93564.
