This book contains an account, published in 1812, by Archibald Robinson describing a tour from London to Bath and Bristol. Little is known of the author, but Bath was a popular destination for members of the gentry during the Regency period and this book was intended to serve as a guide to those making the journey, pointing out important sites and picturesque views along the route. In his preface, Robinson explains that all of the plates that illustrate the work were ‘not ideal but Real Views accurately taken on the spot by the author for the purpose; and the plates were all engraved by himself’
