Saturday. Octr. 25.
Docno: DQA01d608
Date: 1783-10-25
We set away from Dover in a post chaise and pair; went through Canterbury; the chief see of all England. We were told there was a curious1 Cathedral there but had not time to go to see it. We dined at Rochester: a considerable city: 43 miles distant from Dover. We arrived at Dartford at about 4 ½ and stopp'd there for the Night.
1. JQA's probable connotation here is “interesting” or “noteworthy” (

).
