Text Appearing Before Image: reet-work, and which employ thebest skill to plan and to execute it, shows that block-stone pavement of all kinds have long been regardedas necessary evils which have only been toleratedbecause they were improvements on the barbarous cob-ble-stone pavements which formed the first stepping-stones out of the mud, and because better substituteswere lacking.
