A New Portsmouth Guide 1790 “Sickly, damp, aguish and altogether unwholesome” was the perceived view of Portsmouth that this early guide hastens to dispel. Describing it as “of the utmost importance to the Nation” the author describes the town and its surrounding area, giving the historical background where known. In the author’s own words, the guide is interspersed with many useful, curious and entertaining particulars.
