Scope and content
Field notebook in the hand of Edward Lhuyd, probably compiled during a tour in preparation for his proposed work on the topography and natural history of Wales, 1698-1699. The contents form an itinerary, starting at Kidwelly [sic] and recording the orientation and distance between each of the places visited, from Carmarthenshire through Cardiganshire, Brecknockshire, Radnorshire, Montgomeryshire, Merioneth, Caernarvonshire, Denbighshire, Flintshire, back to Conwy and then Anglesey. There are occasional brief remarks on the landscape, weather, and Welsh names for the last three days of March and the first of April. On the penultimate page is a sketch of a starfish found near Harlech.
