Transcripts, [c. 1827] (watermark 1825), in an unknown hand, of journals of tours in Wales and parts of England undertaken by Sir Richard Colt Hoare in 1793 and 1801-1803, taken from manuscripts now at Cardiff Central Library, MS 3.127 and MS 4.302.
The journals include a tour of North Wales, 12 April-1 August 1801 (ff. 1-88, original pagination 1-176), and tours of South Wales, 25 April-14 July 1802 (ff. 96-160, pp. 1-128), 1 May-7 July 1793 (ff. 164-180, pp. 1-33) and 14 May-11 June 1803 (ff. 183-190 verso, pp. 1-16). These are all published, in edited form, in The Journeys of Sir Richard Colt Hoare through Wales and England 1793-1810, ed. by M. W. Thompson (Stroud, 1983). An additional fragment of a tour from Hagley to Stourhead, 24-27 August 1802, is also included (ff. 91-95, pp. 1-10); this is not recorded by Thompson. Each individual tour is accompanied by a list of places visited (ff. 89-90, 162-163, 181-182, 191). A letter, 28 September 1904, from Emmeline Salvin, concerning the volume's provenance, has been tipped in on f. ii.
