The tour in Wales actually took place in 1773, MDCLXX was corrected by hand to MDCLXXIII on a number of copies - this included. Better described as 2 volumes in 3 parts as the tour was completed over 3 different trips, Vol 1 is part 1, Volume 2 being part 2 & 3. (ESTC T133752. Allibone 1553. Lowndes 1823) Pennant, naturalist, traveller, and writer, who in addition to his tour of Scotland, undertook several other tours: of northern England in 1773, of Northamptonshire and of the Isle of Man in 1774, of Warwickshire in 1776, of Kent in 1776, and of Cornwall in 1787. Several tours throughout Wales in the early 1770s, where his Welsh-speaking friend and companion, the Revd John Lloyd of Caerwys, performed the same function as Stuart had in Gaelic Scotland, were brought together as Tours in Wales in three volumes
