A GUIDE FOR STRANGERS AND VISITORS THROUGH THE CITY OF YORK, DESCRIBING ITS PUBLIC BUILDINGS, INSTITUTIONS, CHURCHES, CHAPELS AND EVERY OBJECT OF PUBLIC INTEREST ; CONTAINING ALSO AN HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE NOTICE OF THE Cathedral Church of St. Peter, (COMMONLY CALLED YORK MINSTER ;) WITH AN APPENDIX OF STATISTICS AND USEFUL INFORMATION. ILLUSTRATED WITH A Plan of the City, and several highly finished Wood Engravings. Revised and Enlarged. YORK: PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY WM. SOTHERAN, AND SOLD BY THE BOOKSELLERS. ADVERTISEMENT. IN preparing this Manual the Compiler has endeavoured to dispose the several parts in such a manner that the natural order of the subject may, as far as possible, be made auxiliary to its perfect convenience as a GUIDE BOOK FOR STRANGERS AND VISITORS. The Table of Objects of Interest, &c. is peculiar to this Guide, and, it is believed, will be found as useful as it is new. In working out his design, he has borne in mind that the object of a Guide Book should be to say as much as possible in the fewest words. This rule has been diligently followed; but, at the same time, he believes, that the little volume he now submits to the Public, contains much information, both in the text and notes, not to be found in any other York Guide. |
