Journal of Sir James Hall of Dunglass, 4th Baronet, of the journey from Palermo to Taormina., May-June 1785.
Scope and Contents
Topics of comment, in addition to those mentioned in the series-level description, include bridges, volcanic geology, painting and sculpture, and comparison of national character, dress, and living conditions. Not every entry is dated, but each volume is subdivided into four or five stages of the tour, headed by names of towns or regions with inclusive dates. There is no record of the return journey, as in the sub-series MSS.6329-6332, and it is possible that some volumes are lost.
