‎Rare et très intéressant guide bilingue, français et anglais. Outre la description des principaux lieux et monuments de Londres et de Westminster l'ouvrage signale également les promenades publiques et les divertissements. Hors ces villes, il décrit nombre de communes alentour telles que Chelsea, Kensington, Greenwich, Windsor, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, les courses de chevaux de Newmarket, etc. Le guide fournit également le prix des fiacres et carrosses de louage au dix-huitième siècle. Les étudiants d'ton Etat très satisfaisant (reliure un peu frottée avec petit mq. en dos et coiffes, bon état par ailleurs). Scarce and very interesting bilingual guide, French and English. In addition to describing the main places and monuments of London and Westminster, the work also describes public walks and entertainment. Apart from these 2 towns, it describes a number of surrounding towns such as Chelsea, Kensington, Greenwich, Windsor, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, the Newmarket horse races, etc. The guide also provides the price of cabs and carriages for hire in the eighteenth century. The author Joseph Pote ( 1703-1787) from Eton was an editor and bookseller. Eton boys wrote a couplet about him : "Jos. Pote, a man of great renown, Buys a book for sixpence and sells it for a crown" ! Very satisfactory condition (binding a little rubbed with small lack on the spine and covers, good condition otherwise).‎
