The following letters were written to a friend during a Walk through Wales in August last. Since that time they have been added to and corrected; and are now presented to the public, under the impression, that they may be found to afford some few hints and observations not altogether useless to those whose curiosity shall lead them to visit the very striking scenery of North-Wales. The routes of each day is engraven, and prefixed to the letter which contains a detail of its events; in which little sketches the more considerable deviations from the public road, made in order to visit particular objects, are marked with dotted lines. These are intended for the direction of the Pedestrian, whose independent mode of travelling enables him to catch beauties in his walk through an Alpine country, which the encumbrance of a carriage, and even the indulgence of a horse, prevents another traveller from enjoying.

 

Bath, January 1798.
