Scope and content
Journal of the Rev. Thomas Prior, 25 August-29 October 1802, mostly describing an excursion to North Wales with his wife A[licia] M[arie] Prior, 27 August-12 October, during which the couple took lodgings at Caernarfon (ff. 1-19 verso).
The Priors sailed from Dublin to Holyhead on 25 August (f. 1), visited Bangor (ff. 1-3 verso), then stayed at Caernarfon, 2 September-12 October, with a number of brief excursions within Caernarvonshire (ff. 3 verso-19 verso). The couple returned to Dublin on 12 October (f. 19 verso) and the latter portion of the journal concerns the resumption of Prior's daily life, 13-29 October (ff. 20-22). The volume includes an anecdote on the painter Robert Bowyer recounted to Prior by Bowyer's brother-in-law (f. 1) and an eyewitness account of the Rev. Thomas Charles preaching, 1 October (f. 15).
