One part only, colour of plates very fine. Folio, original blue wrappers with letterpress title label; pp. 25-32, with 4 aquatints with very fine hand colour, each c. 295 x 370mm (11½ x 14½"). Wrapper distressed, contents loose.
A very rare subscriber's issue of part 4 of a publication that would be eventually published as ''Bath, Illustrated by A Series of Views, from the Drawings of John Claude Nattes; with Description to each Plate'. Abbey writes that ''The comparative scarcity of the book would appear to argue for a limited circulation''; he does not mention this earlier title or list any publication with plates of Bristol, Malvern, Cheltenham or Weymouth by Nattes. The plates (which tally with the order of the book, but one number less due to the inclusion of the vignette on the title page) are: 'Sidney Hotel &c', aquatinted by John Hill; 'The Bridges over the Canal in Sidney Gardens' by F.C. Lewis; 'Old Bridge' by Hill; & 'Pump-Room' by Hill.
See Abbey Scenery 41 for the completed book.
