Description

12mo., with lithographed frontispiece, woodcut title-vignette, 5 lithographed plates (one folding), numerous woodcut illustrations in the text and full-page engraved map, signature on front paste-down, some negligible dust-soiling to page edges; original pattered green cloth, upper board blocked and lettered in gilt, short split in lower joint (but binding entirely sound) else an unusually clean, firm copy. THIS COPY MAY BE MISSING A FOLDING MAP WHICH IS PRESENT IN AT LEAST THE 1836 EDITION. The leading guide to Brighton during the 1830s and 1840s, variously attributed to James or Edward Wallis. The earliest edition we have been able to trace was published in 1831; the latest in 1846. EXTREMELY SCARCE. Anderson (p.208) records only the 1836, 1840 and 1846 editions.
