HISTORY OF THE CITY OF CHESTER ...
History of the city of Chester, from its foundation to the present time; collected from public records, private manuscripts, and other authentic sources.

A small etched view of the Rows is printed on the title-page and evidently counts as one of the five unnumbered etchings by George Cuitt (1743--1818) called for in the title.
