Pilgrims' Road to Canterbury

By E. S. JACKSON.

In the *Athenæum* of Nov. 2nd, 1844, there is a notice of *Remarks upon Wayside Chapels; with Observations on the Architecture and present State of the Chantry on Wakefield Bridge*: By John Chessell and Charles Buckler—in which the reviewer says— "In our pedestrianism we have traced the now desolate ruins of several of these chapels along the old pilgrims' road to Canterbury." If this writer would give us the results of his pedestrianism, it would be acceptable to *all* the lovers of Chaucer. I do not know whether PHILO-CHAUCER will find anything to his purpose in the pamphlet reviewed.
