Bromhead to the title page. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Reverend William Gilpin pioneered the Wye Tour and published the first guidebook to the Wye. This edition of that work led the way in a pocket sized guidebook for the Wye Tourist. From the preface: "It seemed better to give a new edition without any prints... a more portable size seemed more convenient to such travellers as think it worth their while to take these observations along with them".
