A tour throughout South Wales and Monmouthshire
Transcribed from the 1803 J. Nichols and Son edition by David Price
"A Tour Throughout South Wales and Monmouthshire" by J. T. Barber is a travelogue that was likely written in the early 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of various aspects of Southern Wales, including its picturesque scenery, historical antiquities, local customs, and commercial conditions. Readers can expect a thorough examination of the sites of interest and the historical context surrounding them as Barber guides them through his observations and experiences in this charming area. The opening of the travelogue introduces the author's motivation for writing the work: to create an all-encompassing guide of the region rather than one limited to specific routes, which often requires multiple publications. Barber begins his journey in Bristol, embarking on a voyage to Swansea filled with vivid descriptions of the scenic beauty along the river and the interactions with local passengers. His narrative captures the excitement and unpredictability of travel in his time, highlighted by a storm that forces the group to take refuge as they await more favorable weather, culminating in an arrival at Swansea and an exploration of its historical sites. Overall, readers will find a rich blend of travel narrative and historical context in this early 19th-century exploration of South Wales. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
