As the
above writer says he prefers two alphabets to one; the editor hereby
sets him at defiance to produce two books in any language (however
large they are,) from whence the student or traveller can collect such
information as is contained in this small volume, price 7s.
Mr. Pye also published a correct and complete representation of all
the provincial copper coins, tokens of trade, and cards of address, on
copper, that were circulated as such between the years 1787 and 1801;
when they were entirely superseded by a national copper coinage.
The whole on fifty-five quarto plates, price 20s. being a necessary
appendage to every library; there being a very copious index.
TO Wm. Damper, Esq.
_One of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace_
FOR THE
COUNTIES OF WARWICK AND WORCESTER.
_SIR_,
_As you occasionally amuse yourself with topographical pursuits, deign
to accept of the following pages, from
Your most obedient,
Humble Servant_,
CHARLES PYE.
_ADVERTISEMENT_.
Whoever may take the trouble of looking into the following pages, will
soon perceive that in some instances the editor has been very brief in
his description of the public institutions; to which he pleads guilty,
and accounts for it by observing, that the undermentioned card[1] was
written and delivered by him personally, to every public institution,
at the respective places where the business is transacted, and when
he called again, after a lapse of two months, there were several
instances where all information was withheld.
