The maps which are in very nice condition show Pennant's route from London to Dover and then from Dover to the Isle of Wight. "Thomas Pennant was a Welsh antiquarian and naturalist whose works were very popular in the eighteenth century. His reputation was built on his important natural history survey British Zoology first printed in 1766 and his accounts of two tours of Scotland undertaken in 1769 and 1772. Pennant made further tours in Wales and in England between 1773 and 1787 and his popularity among amateur naturalists and antiquarians resulted in the development of a comprehensive network of correspondents many of whom supplied him with additional information that he added to subsequent editions of his works. Aside from his 1783 book describing the antiquities on the road between Chester and London and his immensely popular account of the antiquities of London none of Pennant’s English tours were published during his lifetime. This account of his 1787 tour to the Isle of Wight was edited by his son David and published in 1801. Rather than heading directly to the island Pennant’s tour took in much of the south-east coast of England travelling first from London to Dover before traversing the coasts of Kent and Sussex" Royal Collection Trust.

1818List2715Augusta Georgia 1818. Single letter three 9 x 16 inch pages letters with some tape repairs and stray holes at folds still quite legible. Very good. A letter written by Calvin Barnard to his friend Asa Holman of Bolton Massachusetts describing the former’s trip from Boston to Augusta South Carolina from November 25 to January 1. Barnard first traveled from Boston to Charleston South Carolina by boat from which he notes “almost a continual gagging and vomiting†from the passengers. In Charleston Barnard observes that the city is inelegant the unpaved streets “filled with mud†and views “the breastworks which were thrown up during the last warâ€. This would have been the War of 1812 of which Barnard was likely a veteran. South Carolina had engaged upwards of 5000 soldiers and had put up defenses along the coastline in anticipation of the war but it did not come to the mainland – although South Carolina was under naval blockade and the Sea Islands were targeted by the British.<br /> <br /> Barnard reaches Savannah Georgia on the 25th of December; similarly he finds it “although a place of considerable business†“about as dissatisfactory a place I ever was in.†Augusta which he reaches by foot “is much handsomer built and situated than Savannah but not less dissipated†– he remarks that “Being the first day of the year is in this part of the country another great day for getting drunk.†After spending some time in Augusta he finishes the letter with some pointed observations about its residents:<br /> <br /> “I have had a better opportunity of becoming acquainted with the manners customs and dispositions of the citizens of Augusta . I shall not do them injustice by dividing them into three classes in which the Negroes are excepted. The first class of which are the gentry as they would expect to be called made up of men from all parts who have become rich here mostly by avaricious and unjust means . And this class we cannot expect to see drink more than once a week. The second is mostly the natives of this state and South Carolina who are men of a little property of a little education and very little of an honorable principle of any kind and these are not often seen drunk in the forenoon. The third class appears to me to be made up of the off-scouring of every bad place on earth for I never saw their equal for drunkenness lying stealing fighting swearing from morning till morning again. It is not possible that the continent of America has in any other place their equal. If it had I think the whole world soon be sunk.â€<br /> <br /> He finds Augusta’s African-American residents the only trustworthy ones despite local opinions:<br /> <br /> “If any stealing is done here it is laid to the Negroes but I had my surtout a shirt and handkerchief stolen on Friday night last but have too good an opinion of the blacks to think they have them.â€<br /> <br /> Of interest as an outsider’s views on the early Antebellum South and on drinking – another pressing social issue of the day. unknown
