Collections

In the National Library's collections there are 8 extra-illustrated volumes of A tour in Wales by Thomas Pennant that chronicle the three journeys he made through Wales between 1773 and 1776. In addition to A tour in Wales the Library also holds volumes of Pennant's work such as A tour in Scotland (1769). These volumes are unique because they were compiled for Pennant's own library at Downing.
