8vo, bound in period half calf and marbled boards, gilt lettered with morocco spine label, 299 [1] pp. Light scuffs and rubs to spine, corners, boards, and extremities a bit rubbed, top hing cracking, some minor rub marks on title page, slight aging; otherwise very good According to Johnson he put this work together based on several trips to German spas. He characterized the trips as being partly for health and recreation, but also to provide information to "English invalids." Johnson also believed he tried to be impartial on spas and treatments, and hoped that his objectivity would be useful.
