"The Tour of the Don" was published weekly through 1836 as a series of articles in the Sheffield Mercury newspaper. They were brought together as two volumes and re-published in 1837 with the subtitle "A
series of extempore sketches made during a pedestrian ramble along the banks of
that river, and its principal tributaries".
Writings, clippings, extracts, quotes and the like that I have collected during my browsing and digression while doing something else (the posh name is 'research', but its really digression). They started off relating mainly to Natural History (including geology and meteorology) in and around Sheffield, South Yorkshire and Derbyshire, but the odd bit of history and topographic description crept in. and now I am starting to add random 'writings'.
