Jollie's Cumberland Guide & Directory 1811

  > Sums of money in the guide are sometimes given as "£" preceding the sum, and sometimes as "l." following the sum. I've regularised all such as "£". Some of the punctuation would be regarded today as eccentric; this, and old and incorrect spellings, have been left unchanged.
