A volume containing journals of tours through parts of Wales, [27] July-11 August 1812 (ff. 1-45), and along the South Devon coast, 9-[20] August 1813 (ff. 46-71), by W[illiam] Evill of 12 Devonshire Buildings, Bath.
The Welsh tour consists of a journey from the New Passage, Monmouthshire, through Abergavenny, Brecon and Rhayader to Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire, northwards through Talyllyn, Harlech, Maentwrog and Bala, all Merionethshire, on to Llangollen, then south through Shropshire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire, crossing the River Severn at the Old Passage. The Devon tour consists of a journey from Bath, via Glastonbury and Exeter, to Plymouth, Devon, followed by the journey along the coast from Teignmouth, Devon, to Weymouth, Dorset. The writer describes becoming lost on the roads to and from Builth Wells (ff. 8 verso-11), climbing Cader Idris (ff. 19-21), the rivalry of innkeepers in Barmouth (f. 23 recto-verso), the sights of Llangollen (ff. 30-33), and visits to Mount Edgcumbe, Cornwall (ff. 54 verso-56 verso), Devonport Royal Dockyard (ff. 57-59) and the partly completed Plymouth Breakwater (f. 59 recto-verso). There are also a few comments on French prisoners seen at Abergavenny (f. 7) and Oswestry (f. 34). Three hand-drawn maps showing the itinerary of the tours have been tipped into the volume (ff. 2 verso, 16, 47 verso). Engravings depicting English and Welsh views have been pasted into the volume; a minority of these relate to the tours (ff. i verso, 3, 43, 45 recto-verso, 72).
