This antiquarian volume remains complete and intact as a historical reference copy but exhibits severe wear to the exterior binding. \u003cspan class=\"citation-668 citation-end-668\"\u003eThe original quarter-binding has heavily perished, with the vast majority of the spine's outer material, originally featuring a blue back strip with a white label, \u003c\/span\u003enow missing, leaving the underlying text-block backing, cords, and glue completely exposed. The original marbled boards are heavily rubbed and scuffed, displaying prominent bumping, material loss, and rounding to the corners. The hinges remain remarkably tender but are currently holding the boards in place. Internally, the pages show moderate to heavy foxing and toning throughout, particularly pronounced on the preliminary leaves and title page due to natural offsetting from the frontispiece. Despite the exterior degradation, the text block itself remains solid, and the leaves are free from major tears or significant defacements. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\" id=\"p-rc_7de573e2e1f51c07-47\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-667 citation-end-667\"\u003eCatalogue Note: \u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"10\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-666 citation-end-666\"\u003eThis 1826 publication represents the Second Edition of Glazebrook's pioneering guide to Southport, heavily revised and enlarged from its original 1809 release.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"11\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"citation-665 citation-end-665\"\u003eWidely regarded as the first true historian of the town, Glazebrook provides invaluable primary source material on the development of early nineteenth-century Lancashire.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"12\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\" id=\"p-rc_7de573e2e1f51c07-48\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-664 citation-end-664\"\u003eThe text is notably enhanced with four prominent engravings and two plates of heraldic arms at the rear.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"13\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e As a local topographical history, it captures the burgeoning seaside resort in a period of rapid expansion and transformation, moving from a remote village to an established destination. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eOriginal early nineteenth-century copies of this guide in their publisher's boards are exceedingly scarce on the open market.
