BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ROAD- MAKING AND ROADS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM BY
DOROTHY BALLEN. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY SIR GEORGE GIBB, Chairman
of the Road Board. Xonon P. S. KING SON, ORCHARD HOUSE,
WESTMINSTER. 1914. COMPILERS NOTE. No originality is claimed for
the research of which the results are embodied in the following
pages. It was undertaken at the suggestion of Professor Sidney
Webb, in view of the recent revival of interest in highway problems
due to the Development Act of 1909, and is merely a revised and
considerably enlarged edition of the Bibliography compiled by Mr.
and Mrs. Webb in 1906. During the years 1907-1911 Professor Webb
had amassed a quantity of notes for incorporation in the second
edition of the Bibliography and I am indebted to him not only for
these notes, which he trans- ferred to me at the beginning of my
task, but for further notes and valuable suggestions during the
progress of the work. At an early stage in the work, it became
evident that a complete record of the literature of British and
Irish roads would be undesirably bulky. It was therefore decided to
omit certain classes of documents, viz. 1 The Ordnance Survey maps,
official cata- logues of which are available. 2 Guide-books not
intended primarily for travellers by road, and published after
1850. 284142 vi COMPILERS NOTE 3 Local Acts of Parliament relating
to turn- pike roads, bridges, and streets. For those issued between
1800 and 1900 a good indexhas been issuedby the Government while
those of earlier date are listed, and many given in full, in Danby
Pickerings edition of the statutes. 4 Annual reports of Surveyors
and of Highway Committees. With the exception of these groups, the
biblio- graphy is asnearly complete as the materials within reach
would allow. The British Museum Catalogues have proved invaluable,
especially in the historical sections, while that of the Patent
Office Library has supplied the greater part of the section on road
construction and repair. In addition to the catalogues of these two
libraries and of the British Library of Political Science, the
following are the principal sources which have been consulted in
the course of the work Anderson, J. P. Book of British Topo-
