The title-page imprint is undated. With a half-title. A street directory first published in by Patrick Boyle as The fashionable court guide, or the town visit directory in 1792 and issued annually with variant titles, imprints and sizes until 1925. Eliza Boyle succeeded to the editorship following the death of Patrick Boyle in 1808. See separate entries for other editions in Soane's library: as Boyle's Court and county guide, 1806, 1813, 1815, 1817, 1819, 1821--23; as Boyle's Fashionable court and country guide, 1824, 1828, 1831--35. In this edition Soane is listed (as 'J. Soane, arch.') at 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields (p. 92); his neighbour at No.12 is his tenant G. Booth Tyndale. The house at 14 Lincoln's Inn Fields had been purchased by Soane in October 1823 in order to incorporate the rear premises into the Museum, and building works on the main house continued into early 1825. An agreement that the Tyndales would move into the new house came to nothing, and the house was to remain unoccupied until 1828. See Gillian Darley, John Soane: an accidental romantic (London 1999), pp. 268ff.
Binding Original C19th sheep, gilt double-ruled spine, direct-lettered in gilt 'Boyle's Court Guide. 1825', blue fore-edges.
