Richard Pocockes Ire Tour (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780716525394)

Bishop Richard Pococke (1704-1765) was an obsessive traveller whose journeys into Egypt and the remoter Alps earned him a European reputation. His extensive travels through Ireland from the 1740s to the 1760s included a circuit of the Irish coastline in 1752 and a journey through west Cork and Kerry in 1758. Pococke kept a detailed written record of all his travels. His Irish journals, never before collected, are here published complete for the first time.
