1-vi, 10-60pp. Printed card covers (covers worn, a little spotting and curled at corners, original price struck through with manuscript amendment from 8d to a shilling). Internally just a little spotting, few signs of fingering and a bumped corner. Originally published in 1811, this little volume, a verse guide to Harrogate for visitors, went through various reprints in the early 1800s. Inspired by the enormously successful New Bath Guide (1766), it is similar to A Week in Harrogate, also perhaps attributable to Mrs Hoffland, but includes an advertisement by Mrs Hoffland. Perhaps commissioned by the Harrogate printer Hargrove in the first instance, it contains a good puff piece for his shop in Harrogate. Small 12mo.
