Others have exploited their mineral waters ? Bristol, Buxton and Tunbridge Wells for example ? and many have been holiday resorts, but none has ever been the country?s alternative capital as Bath was for almost 100 years, a place to which a large part of society came annually and just about everyone who was anybody visited at least once. Thomas Hinde describes the most curious, amusing and scandalous personalities and events which made this such an unique community in the eighteenth century and which still makes Bath such a popular city today. Nine hundred years of Bath: the place, its people and it?s gossip.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./1st. thus with minor wear and faded dust jacket reducing it to VG.*
