1705792L1Bath: From My Shop in Bath 1705. First edition. Disbound. Good. 7" by 4.5" . None. A very scarce eighteenth century pamphlet defending the healing properties of the water in Bath to one Dr Radcliffe of Tunbridge Wells. ESTC reference no: T62772.In this letter the anonymous author appeals to Radcliffe who is an 'enemy to our Bath-waters' as he vilifies them 'as good for little or nothing'. In the pamphlet the author addresses rumours that Radcliffe the physician to George of Denmark planned to poison the waters of Bath with a toad. This rumour has become a part of the legend of Beau Nash of Bath who was said to have calmed people's fears claiming he could neutralise the toad's poison with music which resulted in him raising money for an orchestra to play at the baths. The author tells Dr Radcliffe that he needs to stop speaking ill of the waters in Bath as it was once his favourite 'Tunbridg has been your Favourite formerly next Bath and then Tunbridg again; which argues you have much more fancy than judgement'. Unbound as issued. A very scarce work with this being the first edition. A second edition 'improv'd and corrected' was printed in the same year. Unbound as issued. Externally generally smart. A few light chips to the extremities. Several marks to the front leaf. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright. Occasional light spots to pages. Good From My Shop in Bath unknown
