Manuscript journal of a tour of south and west Wales, as well as parts of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, 4 June-2 October 1805 (ff. 3-32 verso passim), also including several contemporary illustrations and later pasted-in engravings.
The writer is unknown but appears to be female and was travelling in the company of her 'Papa' and several other presumed relatives. Beginning in Gloucester (ff. 3-4), the journal then recounts a journey down the River Wye from Ross-on-Wye to Chepstow (ff. 7-8, 10-11 verso) and an extended stay at Swansea, 16 June-30 July (ff. 13-14, 16-17, 19, 21-22), before proceeding to Pembrokeshire (ff. 22 verso-23, 26-28 verso), Aberystwyth (ff. 29-31 verso) and Dolgellau (ff. 32 recto-verso), where the narrative ends abruptly, mid-sentence. The volume includes descriptions of Gloucester Cathedral (ff. 3-4), Margam Park (ff. 12-13), the Brownslade estate, [Castlemartin] (ff. 26-27 verso), St Govan's Head (ff. 26 verso-27 verso), the lower River Teifi (ff. 28-29), Devil's Bridge (ff. 29 verso-31) and the house at Hafod, Cardiganshire (f. 31 recto-verso). The illustrations are of pen and wash in a naïve style and comprise eight full page drawings (ff. 2, 6, 9, 15, 18, 20, 24, 25) and three text illustrations (ff. 8, 14, 17) all depicting views along the route. Conversely the fifteen engravings, [1831]-[1845], pasted into the volume depict various views in England, Wales and India and are, with a single exception, unrelated to the text (inside front cover, ff. 1 verso, 2 verso, 33-44 (rectos only)).
