Excerpt from The Mineral Baths of Bath: The Bathes of Bathe's Ayde in the Reign of Charles 2nd, As Illustrated by a Drawing of the King's and Queen's Bath (Signed) 1675, Whereunto Is Annexed a Visit to Bath in the Year 1675 by a "Person of Quality"The purchase by the British Museum of the Drawing sketched in 1675 of the King's and Queen's Bath, and the permission given to the Baths Committee of the Corporation to have it photographed, first induced me to write a little account of the King's Bath and the adjoining property, with a view to give additional interest to the Drawing.What I first intended to confine to a few pages has grown to many. I trust my readers will not consider I have altogether wasted my time in writing or theirs in reading them, but small though may be the value of the notes I have strung together, I venture to think they partially fill up a gap in the History of our City and the Baths that has never hitherto been thought worthy of consideration.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
