Notes 1) Consists of 'The Beauties of Leamington' (1-38), a verse guide to the spa town in heroic couplets; a short introduction to the various cures effected by the waters, followed by short testimonial letters (39-48); 'Lines by Mr. Benjamin Satchwell' (49-50); 'Rules of the Leamington Spa Charity' (51-52); a list of physicians ([53]); and 'Distances of Rides' ([54]). Inspected copy ends here and is perhaps incomplete.

2) Referred to in Gentleman's Mag. (July 1813), 8, as ‘Miss S. Medley’s new Poetical Guide to the Beauties of Leamington Priors’.
