According the author's Address, publication of this work was delayed by some six months because Goodwin wished his experiments to be confirmed by George Pearson. The work is dedicated to Thomas Keate, Surgeon to the Queen and Prince of Wales. EXTREMELY SCARCE. Not in Anderson or Upcott, though Anderson records two earlier works on the medicinal waters, namely those of Soame (1734) and Bliss (1802).

8vo., with 2 plates, and full-page map and 2 plans in the text; printed wrappers, wire-stitched as issued, a fine copy. A PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR TO I MD MARGARY WITH A T.L.S FROM THE FORMER ADDRESSED TO MARGARY AT YEW LODGE. The letter, painfully respectful in tone, brings to Margary's attention Greene's mapping of Ricknild to the south of Templebrough Fort and asks whether this information might be considered in the 'grand old man's' revision of Codrington [which revision became his magnum opus 'Roman Roads in Britain']. Reprinted from the 'Yorkshire Archaeological Journal', part 149. Ivan Donald Margary (1896-1976) was the twentieth century's leading authority on Roman roads in Britain, devising a structured numbering system to ease identification. Among his many studies are 'Roman Ways of the Weald' (1948) and the definitive 'Roman Roads in Britain (2 vols., 1955-57). Bonser 2383.
