in Somersetshire, 132 miles from London, is a well-frequented town on the Parrot, between Bridgewater and Crewkerne. It sent members to three parliaments, and is governed by a portreeve and a recorder. Here are lighters constantly fetching coals, &c., from Bridgewater; and it is a stage for the Taunton wagon, which drops the goods here from London to be carried farther by water.
