Made in the Months of JUNE, and JULY, 1774.
And in the Months of JUNE children, JULY, and AUGUST, 1777

SECOND EDITION MM. DCC. LXXXI

This book was purchased by my grandfather, Alfred Henry Watkins,

I inherited it in 1953

I started typing it into a text document in March 2000

the route of the journey to Monmouthshire and Wales:
