Lavishly illustrated by Moses Griffith with fine engravings of the stunning scenery, buildings and artefacts, this work appeared in two volumes between 1778 and 1781. More than a mere travelogue, this tour of his native country is full of delightful vignettes and historical background. The descriptions of locations and buildings reveal Pennant's thorough mind and tireless capacity for observation. Several of Pennant's other works, including his Tour in Scotland (second edition, 1772), are also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection. Volume 2 follows a route around the area of Snowdonia, the Ll?n Peninsula, Caernarfon, Anglesey and the north-east coast. The latter part of the volume traces a journey from Downing in Flintshire to Shrewsbury via Montgomery.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eCorrections and additions to the first volume\u003cbr\u003e Advertisement\u003cbr\u003e Prestatyn\u003cbr\u003e Rhuddlan\u003cbr\u003e Denbigh\u003cbr\u003e Ruthin\u003cbr\u003e Bala lake\u003cbr\u003e Cader Idris\u003cbr\u003e Harlech\u003cbr\u003e Snowdonia\u003cbr\u003e Plas Newydd\u003cbr\u003e Holyhead\u003cbr\u003e Bangor\u003cbr\u003e Conway\u003cbr\u003e To Montgomery and Shrewsbury\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45909230158104,"sku":"9781108073608","price":42.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108073608i.jpg?v=1696751468","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-tour-in-wales-mdcclxxiii-volume-2-the-journey-to-snowdon-paperback-9781108073608","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
