About this Item

8vo, later tan quarter calf, marbled paper boards, red leather spine label, gilt lettering. Bound from a tract volume; without the half-title and advertisement leaf. A lively tourist guide to Paris, with recommendations for cafes, wine, travel by coach, notable monuments and buildings, dealing with the border police, currency exchange, etc. Five Weeks Tour was sufficiently popular that it went through four editions; the final one was issued in 1765. William Lucas apparently published nothing else. Title-page trimmed slightly along the fore-edge (not touching the text); top margin closely trimmed, touching the pagination on four leaves; light foxing; very good copy. The Second Edition, "corrected and enlarged." The first was published in 1750.
