Item description from seller

viii + 206 + [24] pp. with 6 plates and 26 wood engravings in the text. Original red cloth, gilt, with gilt vignette to upper board. Rebacked with original gilt titles laid on. A very good example. A much expanded version of the guide first published in 1828; comparing the two shows that much has changed in the growing harbour and watering place - most of all, the South-Eastern Railway, the wonder of the age, had arrived. A full description of this is included and from the text and adverts an interesting picture emerges of nineteenth century life in Dover.
