Satire

BATH, n. A kind of mystic ceremony substituted for religious worship, with what spiritual efficacy has not been determined. The man who taketh a steam bath He loseth all the skin he hath, And, for he's boiled a brilliant red, Thinketh to cleanliness he's wed, Forgetting that his lungs he's soiling With dirty vapors of the boiling. Richard Gwow. Source: Devil's Dictionary.

Dream Interpretation

For a young person to dream of taking a bath, means much solicitude for one of the opposite sex, fearing to lose his good opinion through the influence of others.
For a pregnant woman to dream this, denotes miscarriage or accident. For a man, adultery. Dealings of all kinds should be carried on with discretion after this dream.
To go in bathing with others, evil companions should be avoided. Defamation of character is likely to follow. If the water is muddy, evil, indeed death, and enemies are near you.
For a widow to dream of her bath, she has forgotten her former ties, and is hurrying on to earthly loves. Girls should shun male companions. Men will engage in intrigues of salacious character.
A warm bath is generally significant of evil. A cold, clear bath is the fore-runner of joyful tidings and a long period of excellent health. Bathing in a clear sea, denotes expansion of business and satisfying research after knowledge. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted ....

For alternate meanings see Bath (disambiguation)

Bath is a city in western England famous for its historic Roman baths produced by underground springs. In the early 1800s it was known as a resort city for the wealthy, and the water was considered to be a cure for many afflictions. As a result of its popularity during this period, the city contains many noted examples of Georgian architecture, particularly the Royal Crescent. The city has a population of around 86,000.

Historically part of the county of Somerset, it became part of Avon when that county was created in 1974. Since the abolition of Avon, it has formed the main centre of the Unitary Authority of Bath and North East Somerset.

The first shrine at the site of the springs was built by Celts, and dedicated to the goddess Sulis, whom the Romanss identified with Minerva; however, the name Sulis continued to be used after the Roman invasion, leading to the town's Roman name of Aquae Sulis (literally, "the waters of Sulis"). During the Roman occupation of Britain increasingly grand temples and bathing complexes were built, but after the Roman withdrawal these fell into disrepair and were eventually lost due to silting up. They were rediscovered in the 18th century and, as well as being a major archaeological find, they have from that time to the present been one of the city's main attractions, though the water is now considered unsafe for bathing, due to its having passed through the still-functioning lead pipes constructed by the Romans.

Toward the end of the Roman occupation, a Christian shrine was established by the largest spring, and it later grew into a church, but by the 15th century that was dilapidated beyond repair. King Henry VII visited the city in 1497 and decided to found an abbey there, so the Bishop of Bath and Wells took the revenues of the old church to build Bath Abbey.

Bath is approximately 15 miles east of the much larger city of Bristol, to which it is linked by the A4, and is a little way south of the M4 motorway. It possesses a railway station which lies on the main line between Bristol and London.

Bath is the most visited city outside of London for tourists.

Its attractions include:

The new remake of the film Vanity Fair was shot in Great Pulteney Street recently, and in August 2003 the Three Tenors sang at a special concert to mark the opening of the Bath Spa, a new hot water spring spa, in Bath City Centre.

Entrance foyer, first floor, from south. Photograph by Jack E. Boucher, June 1984. (Reproduction Number: HABS, ARK,26-HOSP,1-D-17) Praised by its original owner as "the most practical, complete, and luxurious bathhouse in the world," the Fordyce Bathhouse in Hot Springs stands today as a reminder of the international health-spa craze of the first half of the twentieth century. People from all over the world flocked to the Fordyce and the other bathhouses on "Bathhouse Row" in Hot Springs in the hope that the many natural springs in the area would help cure their illnesses. Visitors at the Fordyce bought their bath tickets in this foyer before proceeding to the dressing rooms and then to the baths. Today, the Fordyce Bathhouse is the Visitor Center at Hot Springs National Park. Credit: Library of Congress.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

LETTUCE, n. An herb of the genus Lactuca, "Wherewith," says that pious gastronome, Hengist Pelly, "God has been pleased to reward the good and punish the wicked. For by his inner light the righteous man has discerned a manner of compounding for it a dressing to the appetency whereof a multitude of gustible condiments conspire, being reconciled and ameliorated with profusion of oil, the entire comestible making glad the heart of the godly and causing his face to shine. But the person of spiritual unworth is successfully tempted to the Adversary to eat of lettuce with destitution of oil, mustard, egg, salt and garlic, and with a rascal bath of vinegar polluted with sugar. Wherefore the person of spiritual unworth suffers an intestinal pang of strange complexity and raises the song."
