and for mineralogy.
493. Barber's Tour in South Wales, 1802. 8vo.--This work is chiefly
picturesque, and descriptive of manners.
494. The Scenery, Antiquities, and Biography of South Wales. By B.H.
Malkin. 1805, 4to.--This work is hardly valuable in proportion to its size;
but from it may be gleaned interesting notices on the history and
antiquities of this part of Wales, as well as manners, &c.
495. Arthur Aikin's Journal of a Tour through North Wales, and part of
Shropshire. 12mo.--An admirable specimen of a mineralogical and geological
tour, in which the purely scientific information is intermixed with notices
of manufactures, and pictures of manners, &c.
From the above list of Tours in Wales which comprehends, we believe, the
best, it will be seen that this part of the united kingdom has not been
neglected by travellers. Indeed, its natural scenery, mineralogy,
geology, botany, antiquities, manners, &c. have been more frequently and
better described by travellers, than those of any other portion of the
British empire.
496. The History and Antiquities of Selborne, in the County of Southampton.
By the Rev. Gil. White. 1789, 4to.--This most delightful work has lately
been republished in 2 vols. 8vo. It is an admirable specimen of topography,
both as to matter and style; and proves in how laudable and useful a manner
a parish priest may employ his leisure time, and how serviceable he may be
to the natural history and antiquities of his country.
