Description
This journal records John Symonds journey from Nice in Southern France to Barcelona in Spain. It dates from the 23rd March to the 6th June, although no year is specified. Symonds describes his journey from Nice to Barcelona and includes observations on the culture, agriculture, economy and distance from place to place. The first half of the book focuses on the travel whereas the second half looks at specific subjects such as taxes, edicts, parliament and hospitals. Within the Edicts is mention of the year 1767, therefore it is likely the book was written on/after this date.
