Description
This journal looks at John Symonds journey through Tuscany in 1767. The journey itself is split with Symonds going to Corsica in between. There is a separate book for this. The journey goes from 1st July - 27th July and the 9th August - 14th August. At the front of the book there is also a small section on the 25th and 26th May. There is no date for May although someone else has written 1762 in pencil, however there is no confirmation this is correct. Symonds describes his journey through Tuscany and includes observations on population numbers, the culture and economy, including the cost of goods. There is a note at the front, written by someone else suggesting that the May entry may or may not follow on from another of Symonds journals however as there are no years mentioned in either of them we cannot be certain.
