The
following are links to sections on roads contained in
reports to the Board of Agriculture that date from around

contain a good overview of the roads at that time and
how they were administered. They provide a useful supplement
to the Statistical Accounts and to the Cambridge County
Geographies. The links are to Google Books. A list of
