a town of Lincolnshire, 110 miles from London. It is a neat populous town, with abundance of very good inns of great resort, on the north road, and situated on the river Witham. It is supposed to have been a Roman town by the remains of a castle which have been formerly dug up here. It is governed by an alderman and 12 justices of the peace, a recorder, a coroner, an escheator, 12 second twelve men, who are of the common council, and 12 constables to attend the court. Here is a fine large church with a stone spire, one of the loftiest in England, being 288 feet high, and, by the deception of the sight, seems to stand awry, which, by the church being situated too low, appears to a very great disadvantage. Here is a good free-school, where Sir Isaac Newton received his first education, besides two charity-schools. On the neighbouring course are frequent horse races.
