Notes
An attractively illustrated account of the author's journeys throughout North Wales. Thomas Roscoe (1791-1871) was a translator and travel writer from the well known Liverpool family. This title was first published in 1836 but many of the later and improved editions are undated as here. Other copies recorded in COPAC also demonstrate the irregularities of pagination at the beginning of the volume.
