The journal of William Williams (1774-1839), sometime MP for Weymouth and Melcomb Regis, co. Dorset, describing a walking tour through Wales and to Liverpool and Chester, May-June 1796, accompanied by the Reverend James Burgess. A note on f. i verso - 'The following Copy was made from the original Tour by a Welsh servant, not well acquainted with the English language. Hence the errors in spelling & grammar, with which it abounds' - is in the same hand as the final paragraph of the narrative and as emendations and additions to the text. Other additions, mainly on the blank dorse of folios, are in a different hand, possibly that of James Burgess.
