Thomas Codrington (1829, Wroughton, Wiltshire - 1918) was a British engineer and antiquarian of the late Victorian era. With a career background as an Inspector for local government, he published several known works. First was ''Report on the Destruction of Town Refuse'', published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office in 1888. This was only a short pamphlet of 48 pages, including illustrations of furnaces in use at the time. Codrington went on to write the slightly more substantial 172 page work ''The Maintenance of Macadamised Roads'' in 1879, published by E. & F.N. Spon. However, by far Codrington's most famous work was also one of his last. ''Roman roads in Britain'', published originally in 1903, was the first attempt by any author to catalogue fully the evident remains of the Roman transport network in the United Kingdom. Several further editions were subsequently published, and indeed reprinted. The last of these was a reprint of the 3rd edition in 1928. ==External links== * *("Brief biography of Codrington" ), should also be some original scans of his text soon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Codrington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
