This volume on local Harrogate history, charts the development of Harrogate as a spa town from its earliest days. The first mineral spring in Harrogate was discovered in 1571 by William Slingsby, who found that water from the Tewit Well possessed similar properties to that from the springs of the Belgian town of Spa, which gave its name to spa towns. The medicinal properties of the waters were more widely publicised by Edmund Deane (1572-1640), whose book, Spadacrene Anglica or The English Spa Fountain was published in 1626. Following this, Harrogate developed considerable fame as a spa town. It is the first work on the waters of Harrogate, reprinted with an introduction by James Rutherford (Physician) and biographical notes by Alex Butler, MB. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work and will appeal to those interested in both local and medical history. The book has the marks associated with age and having been read, particularly the dust jacket which has small tears and sections missing around the outside edges. The 138 pages including a 58 page introduction and biographical note with the rest of the book being a reprint of the original work of 1626 including a black and white frontis. Some slight foxing inside. Bound in blue cloth, inside it is a really nice copy given its age.
