Walks Through Bath (1818) by P Egan
At every step the visitor takes, nothing but elegance meets his eye; and proceeding in a straight line the Square is left, Marlborough-Street is passed, and at the bottom of Marlborough-Buildings, (a long range of respectable habitations,) the ver acme and grandeur of all Bath is nowobtained, namely, the Royal Crescent. The above Crescent, consisting of thirty houses, is of an elliptical form, with a single order of Ionic pillars, supporting the superior cornice. The fronts of the houses, which terminate each end of the Crescent, have an imposing effect. Independent of a wide pavement, a broad carriage-road, and a fine lawn in front, enclosed with iron rails, it has also a capacious gravel-walk for foot passenters.
