THE DEAD TOWNS OF GEORGIA. [bound with:] ITINERANT OBSERVATIONS IN AMERICA. First edition. "A record of more than historical interest are these memorials of towns, that, once centres of vital interest in the development of a new colony, are now as silent, still and forgotten as the sleeping occupants of their own graveyards. Old and New Ebenezer and the faithful Saltsburgers; Fredericka and Oglethorpe; Sunbury and the patriotic Liberty County; Hardincke, Petersburg; Jacksonborough, Francisville and the old tobacco trade - the author tells their story with that inimitable effect that comes only from personal feeling and true knowledge. An exceedingly valuable and readable book" - Bradford and Henkel. One of 250 copies so issued.Bound with this copy is a shorter text, reprinting Edward Kimber's observations made during visits to Georgia and the southern colonies circa 1745, originally having appeared in the LONDON MAGAZINE in 1745-46.
