ABSTRACT
Beginning in the first week of June of last year, when there were about five hundred visiters, and ending in the last week in October, up to which latter cold date even, there were still about three hundred visiters in Harrogate – twenty thousand five hundred and eighty-six appear to have been registered. But as most of these remain two or three weeks, during each of which their names appear on the list, it will be necessary to deduct something like two-thirds of that large total, in order to come near the true number of arrivals. Now this is a considerable number, and one which bespeaks the favour in which Harrogate is held; for even in Germany, hardly any of the most popular Spas, Baden-Baden, Wisbaden, and perhaps Carlsbad excepted, can boast of having had, during any one year, a much larger assemblage of water-bibbers.
