QUIGGIN’S
ILLUSTRATED GUIDE
AND
Vistor's Companion

THROUGH THE

ISLE OF MAN;

WITH A

DIRECTORY FOR DOUGLAS.

Second Edition—Fifth Thousand.

DOUGLAS:

PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY J. QUIGGIN,

CUSTOM~HOUSE-QUAY.

1841.

Although the date of 1841 is given, much is a reprint of the 1835 first edition; some of the information (e.g. Members of Council) would not appear to have been updated post 1838/9 which would appear to confirm the date of 1839 in Cubbon's Bibliography which gives reprints in 1840, 1841, 1842 and 1845. An inscription in my copy dates the owner's visit to August 1843 - which somewhat tells against an 1842 reprint.
