Book Description: Printed for Henry Brome. , 1676. FIRST EDITION, engraved additional title-page (with explanation of frontispiece on verso of preceding leaf), letterpress title printed within double-line border, woodcut head-, tail-pieces, and initial letters, engraved folding-map, 2 engraved plates (the latter on two separate leaves), wood-engraved illustration in the text, another engraved folding plate (with some significant loss at fore edge), occasional waterstaining within page block, pp.[32], 200, 8vo., late eighteenth-century half calf, sometime rebacked with gilt black morocco label, gilt dated at foot, blind roll on returns and corners (worn at tips), grey boards lightly rubbed, grey endpapers, red speckled edges, good Thomas Guidott (1638-1706) had published his findings on the healing properties of Bath’s waters in an appendix (entitled "Appendix Concerning Bathe"), to the 1669 edition of Jorden's "A Discourse of Natural Bathes." If one is to believe Guidott’s introduction to " A discourse of Bathe." it would appear that this appendix offended the reputation of Jorden, who had died in 1632. He states that he intended to publish a history of Bath, but found "no encouragement since to that design"; instead, the present work was seen by Guidott to "release me of my obligation to the Candid world", with the hope that publication "may in some measure stop the gap." (ESTC R10888: Wellcome III, p.178 ).
