An interesting and in-depth history of the city of Bath in England. The city was a popular social hub at the time of this publication. The hot springs and waters of the Roman Baths in the city centre were a source of popularity with people visiting the city to taste the waters which had supposed healing properties. Bath is also rich with ancient Roman and Saxon history the city being names Aquae Sulis in the Roman era. both of which are discussed in detail in this work. However the author also discussed the civil history and the military history of the city and offers a concise history of the Bath Abbey alongside chapters on the public baths the mineralogy and botany of the city and the various amusements that could be found in Bath at the turn of the nineteenth century. The work was dedicated to George IV when he was the Prince of Wales. Written by Richard Warner an antiquary who specialised in topography. He was also a clergyman and came to bath as a minister at All Saints in 1794. His move to Bath inspired his interest in the Roman history and antiquity of the city. It seems that Warner had a slightly contentious view of the society of Bath believing that the city was disintegrating into corruption and relaxation. A scarce first edition of Richard Warner's illustrated history of Bath. In a half morocco binding with marbled paper to the boards. Externally generally smart. Light rubbing to the boards and spine. Paper to the boards is lifting to the tail. Internally firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned and clean. Very Good R. Cruttwell hardcover

Advertisements for the Burlington & Missouri River Railway as well as the Chicago Burlington and Quincy R. R. both of which ran from Chicago to Red Cloud are included as well. The map of Webster County Nebraska shows the town of Red Cloud and sixteen of its neighboring counties as well as railroad lines rivers and property divisions. This map was produced by Fort Abstract Co. of Red Cloud said here to keep a complete set of books and plats of all towns and sub-divisions. Illustrations depict buildings in Red Cloud various residences of town citizens and appealing views of the town. Red Cloud was founded on homestead land in 1871 by a group of men including Silas Garber 1833-1905 who would go on to serve as Nebraska's Governor from 1875 to 1879. The town was named by Garber and local businessmen in honor of the chief of the Olgalala tribe of the Teton-Lakota Sioux. When Webster County was organized Red Cloud was designated as the county seat. In 1879 the Burlington & Missouri River Railway reached Red Cloud -- stimulating immigration from America's eastern seaboard and bringing a variety of cultural heritages to town including those of Germany Scandinavia Great Britain and Canada Austro-Hungary aka Bohemians and so forth. The town's cultural melting pot was marvelously depicted in the literary works of Willa Cather who lived in Red Cloud for several years with her family beginning in 1883 at the age of nine. Cather would use the town as the basis for such fictional towns as "Black Hawk" in My Antonia 1918. We could find no copies recorded in OCLC. A few small old water stains to the rear cover short separations and small punctures along old folds. Argus Steam Print, n. d. (ca 1878). unknown
