Copies of a third series of early Nineteenth Century guides are also available. This is The Liverpool Guide, published by W. Moss.

This 2nd. edition is from 1797. This copy has a new spine and endpapers, but with old boards.

The title page and the folded map. Unlike many books of this age, the map is still present.

A closer view of the folding map. The imprint at the bottom is: Published as the Act directs, Febry. 1st. 1797 by WILLIAM JONES Castle Street.

This volume contains 164 pages, plus a page of errata. Page 102 (l.) begins the description of the town's Sunday Schools, and page 103 (r.) gives an account of Liverpool's 'Institution for Restoring Drowned Persons.' The latter begins, "Drowning is an accident so frequent here as to render this institution very necessary. Above 400 persons have become objects of it since its first institution, in 1775, more than one half of whom have been restored. A guinea is given to those who take up a body, if it be afterwards restored to life; if not restored, half a guinea..... Long poles with hooks at the ends, are dispersed in different places about the docks, for the purpose of dragging for those persons who fall in."

This second copy is of the 4th edition from 1801. It has a later binding and carries a library stamp on the map and on the last page.

The title page of this edition of Moss's Liverpool Guide.

This copy also has its folding map.

A closer view of the map. Note the old library stamp. The imprint described above has been erased.

There are now 192 pages. Page 175 begins an 18 page description of sea-bathing at Liverpool thus: "COLD bathing, or a complete immersion of the body in cold water, has been practised in all ages and countries, for the purpose of recreation and the preservation and restoration of health.... A preference has gradually increased, and is now very generally given, to sea water; and very justly; as it possesses every property that fresh water has, besides what is peculiar to itself....." The top of the page shows a woodcut scene of a bathing machine with its attendant, the horse used to pull it into position, and the head and shoulders of a bather.

This copy is also the 4th. edition from 1801. The spine has been renewed, but it too has the original boards (?) Sadly, this time the map is missing.

The map has been replaced by a modern reproduction.

The modern reproduction. This comes from a facsimile produced by the city of Liverpool's Public Relations Office in 1974. I am advised that the first edition is very rare indeed.
