Tour in Wales and a part of Monmouthshire
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)).

A manuscript volume containing abstracts of title, [c. 1816] (watermark 1814), relating to the estates of Sir Mark Wood of Gatton, Surrey (formerly of Piercefield, Monmouthshire), in the counties of Monmouthshire and Glamorgan.
The volume is in three sections (labelled A, B and F), abstracting Wood's title to the castle and manor of Pencoed, [Llanmartin], the manor of St Brides [Netherwent] and other properties in Monmouthshire, purchased from Thomas Mathews (pp. 1-106); Mathews' title to leasehold estates in Monmouthshire, including Gillylaes [Gelli-las, Llanfihangel Llantarnam] (pp. 107-145); and a supplemental abstract of Wood's title to estates in Monmouthshire and Glamorgan purchased from Mathews and others (pp. 146-346).

Abstracts A and B also include legal opinions of J[ohn] Holliday, Lincoln's Inn, dated 1794 and 1795 respectively (pp. 105-106, 143-145). The abstracts contain no reference to Wood's ownership of Piercefield, which had been sold in 1800.

Tour of New York State and the Niagara Peninsula
Manuscript journal of a tour of New York State and the Niagara Peninsula, Upper Canada (now Ontario), 15 August-1 September 1816, written by a Welsh Old Etonian, possibly Pierce Wynne Yorke.
The writer and his companion (identified only as Richard, see ff. 18 and 45) leave New York City on 15 August 1816 (f. 1) and travel by steamer and wagon up the Hudson River valley (ff. 1-10 verso) to Albany, staying there 17-20 August (ff. 10 verso-16); they then continue overland, visiting Utica, 21-[23] August (ff. 21-24 verso), the Finger Lakes (ff. 28 verso-33 verso), and Buffalo, 28-29 August (ff. 35 verso, 38 verso). After crossing the Niagara River into Upper Canada they visit Niagara Falls, 29 August-1 September (ff. 40 verso-45), and continue to Newark [Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario] on 1 September (f. 45 verso). The volume contains frequent references to their accommodation, travel arrangements and the often unseasonable weather (1816 being the so called 'Year without a Summer'), as well as descriptions of the scenery and flora, agricultural practices, Indigenous Americans, American manners and politics and the effects of the War of 1812. Also included, in pencil, are a verse on Col. Cecil Bisshopp (inside front cover), brief accounts of bills paid (f. i) and mostly illegible notes apparently relating to the contents of the journal (inside back cover). The author is not named but evidently has close connections with North Wales (see ff. 4 recto-verso, 5 verso, 27 verso, 28 verso-29 verso, 45), is an Old Etonian and a schoolfriend of Bisshopp, whose grave he visits at Lundy's Lane, Niagara (see f. 44); Pierce (or Peirce) Wynne Yorke of Dyffryn Aled appears to be the most plausible candidate.
