Item description from seller

8vo., Sixth Edition, with engraved folding map as frontispiece, 12 engraved plates and engraved folding map; original blue boards, upper board with printed paper label, expertly rebacked in ivory paper to style, uncut, a remarkably well-preserved, bright, crisp, clean copy. With the publisher's advertisement leaf bound in at rear. THIS COPY IS EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED by the insertion of a folding engraved map of the Town and Port, and an additional engraved view of Pelham Place and Crescent. The plates depict: View from Minnis Park, View from the East Well, View from the Pier Rocks, View in East Bourn Street, St. Clement's Church, Town Hall, Remains of the Town Hall, North West View of the Castle, Marine Parade, Pelham Place, Pelham Place and Crescent, View from the White Rock. Anderson records two versions of the Hastings Guide, but states no publishers. The likelier of the two, in 8vo rather than 12mo format, gives third edition as 1824 with subsequent issues from 1825 to 1830. Halkett & Laing and NUC assign authorship of earlier editions (eg. 1794) to James Stell. EXTREMELY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
