The Expedition of Humphry Clinker Letter 17 - from LYDIA MELFORD to Miss WILLIS

In which a young lady, newly arrived in the bustling city of Bath, describes the gaiety, exquisite fashions, and lively diversions that give the place an air both enchanting and extraordinary. She recounts the curious customs of the spa, the varied company she encounters, and the contrast between her country innocence and the polished, albeit sometimes overpowering, pleasures of polite society.
