Journal, [mid 1820s] (watermark 1822), of a tour through parts of Monmouthshire, Glamorgan and Breconshire, [26] July-[?3] August 1822, in the company of the Rev. B[arton] B[ouchier] and his wife. The author is unidentified but was a resident of Monmouth; the journal was compiled by him after the fact from his notebooks. The tour began and ended in Monmouth, going west as far as Neath, then northwards to Brecon (NLW ex 2962 (i)).
