town of Somersetshire, 116 miles from London. It is a great thoroughfare in the lower road between Bath and Bristol. They call it proverbially smoky Keynsham, and with equal reason they might call it foggy. It has a fine large church, a stone bridge of 15 arches over the Avon to Gloucestershire, and another over the river Chew. Its chief trade is malting. It has a charity school, a weekly market, and three fairs.

Keyser's Pills, a celebrated mercurial medicine, the method of preparing which was purchased by the French.
