Abstract

ON MAY 1ST, 1766, diligent newspaper readers, perusing the front pages of their favourite journals over breakfast, noticed a brief announcement amongst the plethora of advertisements for miracle cures and infallible nostrums. It read: ‘This day is published: elegantly printed on fine medium writing‐paper, in quarto, price five shilings, The New Bath Guide: or Memoirs of the B—n—r—d family. In a series of poetical epistles … Sold by J. Dodsley in Pall Mall’.
