THE Carriers Cosmographie.
or A Briefe Relation, of The Innes, Ordinaries, Hosteries, and other lodgings in,
and neere London, where the Carriers, Waggons, Foote-posts and Higglers, doe usually come, from any
parts, townes, shires and countries, of the Kingdomes of England, Principality of Wales, as also from the Kingdomes of Scotland and Ireland.
With nomination of what daies of the weeke they doe come to London, and on what daies they returne, whereby all sorts of people may finde direction
how to receiue, or send, goods or letters, unto such places as their occasions may
require.
As also, Where the Ships, Hoighs, Barkes, Tiltboats, Barges and wherries, do usually
attend to Carry Passengers, and Goods to the coast Townes of England, Scotland, Ireland, or the Netherlands; and where the Barges and Boats are ordinarily
to bee had that goe up the River of Thames westward from London.
By Iohn Taylor.
To all Whom it may concerne, with my kinde remembrance to the Posts, Carriers, Waggoners
and Higglers.
IF any man or woman whomsoever hath either occasion or patience to Read this following
description, it is no doubt but they shall find full satisfaction forasmuch as they
laid out for the booke, if not, it is against my will, and my good intentions are
lost and frustrate. I wrote it for three Causes, first for a generall and necessary
good use for the whole Common-wealth, secondly to expresse my gratefull duty to all
those who have honestly paid me my mony which they owed me for my Bookes of the collection
of Tavernes, in London and Westminster, and tenne shires or Counties next round about London, and I doe also thanke all such as doe purpose to pay me heereafter: thirdly, (for
the third sort) that can pay me and will not; I write this as a document: I am well
pleased to leave them to the hangmans tuition (as being past any other mans mending)
for I would have them to know, that I am sensible of the too much losse that I doe
suffer by their pride or cousenage, their number being so many, and my charge so great,
which I paid for paper and printing of those bookes, that the base dealing of those
sharks is Insupportable; But the tedious Toyle that I had in this Collection, and
the harsh and unsavoury answers that I was faine to take patiently, from Hostlers,
Carriers, and Porters, may move any man that thinks himselfe mortall to pitty me.
In some places I was suspected for a proiector, or one that had devised some tricke
to bring the Carriers under some new taxation; and sometimes I was held to have been
a man taker, a Serieant or baylife to arrest or attach mens good or beasts; indeed
I was scarce taken for an honest man amongst the most of them: all which suppositions
I was inforced oftentimes to wash away, with two or three Iugges of Beere, at most
of the Innes I came to; In some Innes or Hosteries, I could get no certaine Intelligence,
so that I did take Instructions at the next Inne unto it, which I did oftentimes take
upon trust though I doubted it was indirect and imperfect,
Had the Carriers hostlers and others knowne my harmelesse and honest intendments,
I doe thinke this following relation, had beene more large and usefull, but if there
be any thing left out in this first Impression, it shall be with diligence inserted
hereafter, when the Carriers and I shall bee more familiarly acquainted, and they,
with the hostlers, shall be pleased in their ingenerosity, to afford me more Ample
directions. In the meane space, I hope I shall give none of my Readers cause to curse
the Carrier that brought me to towne.
Some may obiect that the Carriers doe often change and shift from one Inne or lodging
to another, whereby this following direction may be heereafter untrue, to them I answer,
that I am not bound to binde them, or to stay them in any place, but if they doe remove,
they may be enquired for at the place which they have left or forsaken, and it is
an easie matter to finde them by the learned intelligence of some other Carrier, an
hostler, or an understanding Porter.
Others may obiect and say that I have not named all the townes and places that Carriers
doe goe unto in England and Wales: To whom I yeeld, but yet I answer, that if a Carrier of Yorke hath a letter or goods to deliver at any towne in his way thither, he serves the
turne well enough, and there are carriers and messengers from Yorke to carry such goods and letters as are to be past any waies north, broad and wide
as farre or further than Barwicke: so he that sends to Lancaster, may from thence have what he sends conveyd to Kendall, or Cockermouth, and what a man sends to Hereford may from thence be passed to Saint Davids in Wales, the Worster carriers can con
vey any thing as farre as Carmarthen, and those that goe to Chester may send to Carnarvan: the carriers or posts that goe to Exeter may send daily to Plimouth, or to the Mount in CThis text has been supplied.

Besides, if a man at Constantinople or some other remote part or Region shall chance to send a letter to his parents, master, or friends that dwell at Nottingham, Derby, Shrewsbury, Exeter, or any other towne in England; then this booke will give instructions where the Carriers doe lodge that may convey the said letter, which could not easily be done without it: for there are not many that by hart or memory can tell suddenly where and when every carrier is to be found, I have (for the ease of the Reader & the speedier finding out of every townes name, to which any one would send, or from whence they would receive, set them downe by way of Alphabet; and thus Reader if thou beest pleased, I am satisfied, if thou beest contented, I am paid, if thou beest angry, I care not for it.

The Thames
Perhaps more than any other geophysical feature, the Thames river has directly affected London’s growth and rise to prominence; historically, the city’s economic, political, and military importance was dependent on its riverine location. As a tidal river, connected to the North Sea, the Thames allowed for transportation to and from the outside world; and, as the longest river in England, bordering on nine counties, it linked London to the country’s interior. Indeed, without the Thames, London would not exist as one of Europe’s most influential cities. The Thames, however, is notable for its dichotomous nature: it is both a natural phenomenon and a cultural construct; it lives in geological time but has been the measure of human history; and the city was built around the river, but the river has been reshaped by the city and its inhabitants.The Thames is mentioned in the following documents:

The gradual centralisation of the English criminal justice system meant that by the reign of Elizabeth I, Newgate had become London’s most populated gaol. In the early modern period, incarceration was rarely conceived of as a punishment in itself; rather, gaols like Newgate were more like holding cells, where inmates spent time until their trials or punishments were effected, or their debts were paid off.Newgate is mentioned in the following documents:
