Excerpt from Street-Lore of Bath: A Record of Changes in the Highways and Byways of the City

Bath, whilst one of the most ancient cities in the empire, is at the same time comparatively modern, and yet not so modern as to deserve the reproach of being a brand-new upstart place. The intelligent stranger who enters it for the first time at once perceives that he is in a city which has a history; a city, the records of which must needs be of interest. The object the author has had in view is to assist such stranger, as well as his fellow-citizens, by placing before them a manual in which they may find much information not hitherto available in any other work.

The author has endeavoured to elucidate the meanings of old names, which have for the most part been preserved and enshrined either in the streets or in buildings.
