An Account of Fort-Montague at Knaresborough in a Letter from a Gentleman, at Harrogate, to his Friend in London; The Legend of Saint Robert, The Hermit of Knaresborough
16pp booklet. Two titles in one booklet. Both title pages have engraved vignettes. Neat, clean and fresh throughout with just a little edge wear The first title provides an account and description of Fort Montague, otherwise known as the house in the rock, and charges delivered to Sir Thomas Hill appointing him as Governor of Fort Montague in 1791 and requiring him to account for the forces and present state of the fort and to prepare to receive a company of invalids, on his Majesty's command. There is some suggestion that this pamphlet was authored by Babara Hofland, but that is uncertain. See Butts, Mistress of our Tears, p.99. The second title is sometimes attributed to Robert Flower, that is Saint Robert himself, but this seems very unlikely. Slim 16mo.
