Richly illustrated, handwritten journal of British botanist and archaeologist Henry Ecroyd Smith (1823-1889), describing his 3-week trip through North Yorkshire and Durham in the summer of 1861. During this trip, he visited the ruins of numerous abbeys in the region, like Fountains Abbey, Byland Abbey, and Rievaulx Abbey, and describes their architecture. He mentions interesting historical facts about them, as well as relevant local legends, songs or poems. He also corrects misinformation from earlier authors and has added illustrations of most of the abbeys, which were taken from newspapers and other works. The journal reads like a walking guide, as it explains which routes to take. Smith has published multiple works on Roman and Anglo-Saxon architecture and possibly undertook this trip as research for a future work.Smith is a relatively unknown British scholar. He was the first curator of the Liverpool museum and the author of several works on architecture in England. Most notably, Reliquiae Isurianae: the remains of the Roman Isurium (1852), about a Roman fort in North Yorkshire. He also wrote two works on archaeology in the Mersey district (1868 and 1874), Annals of Smith of Cantley (1878), which is the history of his family, and The history of Conisborough castles with glimpses of Ivanhoe-Land (1887). The present journal offers a unique insight into 19th-century tourism and the state of the visited abbeys around this time.With the bookplate of Henry Ecroyd Smith mounted on the front pastedown.
