- Abstract:
- Manuscript, in a single hand, of a diary of a journey from Dublin to England and then to Cork, written in a lighthearted and sometimes satirical manner. Traveling with his father, his friend Valerius, and a servant, the Irish author records his impressions in England of churches he visits; where he takes his meals; and the inhabitants he meets. After describing several churches in Liverpool, he writes, "I am broke of in this Part of my Description, as I think by some simpering or laughing; but on Enquiry I am supris'd to find it's some of my Female Acquaintance," which causes him, he writes, to lose the spirit to continue with his description. Elsewhere, he visits silk mills and describes the cost and workings of the machinery. At Nottingham, he notes that "most of the Inhabitants here are Presbyterians and I really believe I was in five different Meetings which I mistook for Churches, and at Length was so much vexed at being so often disappointed that I protested against looking further for one." Throughout, he records numerous encounters with women, including a landlord's daughter with whom he carries on a flirtation. The narrative is prefaced by an introduction addressed to "Madam," in which he speaks disapprovingly of women's coquetry, and mocks "our country-women who have been abroad," who "commonly return Home with Variety of odd Pronunciations, particular Gestures, & new Fashions, perhaps never known in any Part of the World, but the Production of their own fertile Brain."
