The Book of Brighton: As It Was and As It Is is a historical book written by Charles Henry Ross in 1881. The book is a comprehensive account of the town of Brighton, located on the south coast of England. The author provides a detailed description of the town's history, from its earliest days as a small fishing village to its rise as a fashionable seaside resort in the 18th and 19th centuries. Ross also describes the town's architecture, including its famous Regency-era buildings, such as the Royal Pavilion. He also provides an overview of the town's social and cultural life, including its famous residents, such as the poet Lord Byron and the actress Sarah Bernhardt.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the town's history and the second part providing a contemporary account of the town in the 1880s. The second part includes descriptions of the town's modern amenities, such as its railway station, pier, and hotels.Overall, The Book of Brighton is a valuable historical resource for anyone interested in the history of Brighton and its development as a seaside resort. It provides a fascinating insight into the town's past and present, and is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of English seaside towns.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
