The journal starts with 12pp of poetry (Norton, Elegy). Then commences “Memmorandum of operations taken on the road, as to Lodging &c between Paris and Barcelona August 31st 1767”. Travels begin at Paris, then with long descriptions through Fontainebleau, Moret, Auxerre, Vermenton, Dijon, Beaune, Chalon, Sennecey, Tournus (“rum and milk for breakfast”). On to Macon, Villefranche, Lyon, where “Mr R made a visit to Monsr Wegulin and another gentleman - the former return’d our visit immediately and after dinner accompanied us to the Silk Mercers Marchandise Mode. I made several purchases which were ordered to be sent to Marseilles & from thence Embarked for Alicante & we resolved on going by water on y’ Rhone to Pont St Esprit - but the wind being contrary were detained another day (we found a great deal of trouble in settling this method of travelling as we chose a boat to ourselves - but were obliged Notwithstanding to pay off the Post Office for Horses a double post altho we took none - but it is the custom”. Monday 7th they were visited by M. Wegulin and “set out in the afternoon after paying an Exorbitant Bill - the expense by Barque (or Post Boat) is much the same as with the horses, but our intention was by way of Lessening the fatigue”. They pulled ashore at Vienne and spent the night there, embarking at five in the morning with a good description of the boat journey. In the barque at four the following morning they landed at Pont St Esprit at nine, refreshed themselves and set off for Bagnoles, Remoulins and Nimes, where they were “Alarmed in the middle of the night with people trying to force into our room”. Then they travel to Montpellier, Pezenas, Beziers, continuing along the coast through Narbonne, Sigean, Perpignan where they lodged indifferently. “The House to appearance was perfectly clean - but swarmed with vermin - to so great a degree were obliged to put a mattress on the floor and covered with the sheet, and our clothes got a little rest, but suffered much the next day from lying so near the bricks”. From there they were two and a half days to Barcelona with passing descriptions of Figueres and Gerona. “The road from Barcelona to Valencia in great part very bad indeed, and the Inns intollerable - Tarragon and Castellon de la Plana are good Towns - where one breathes a little”. He speaks well of Valencia, but complains “ I was too ill and impatient to get Home, to say much of my journey from Valencia to Alicante”. It the finishes rather sadly with the loss of a third child, “since when I have seen and felt innumerable troubles which Heaven in pity to me has given me strength to support with patience and not to complain at its all wise decree, which tho’ severe and painfull to our short sighted reason, will certainly be for our good here and hereafter - London March 31st 1770.”

The diary then recommences at the other end, “Memorandum of the roads, Inns, &c, &c”. Beginning Alicante, May 3rd 1769. Commencing in Alicante our diarist appears to be overly concerned with the state of the roads, with descriptions (mostly unfavourable) of the Inns they stay in and eat at. They travel through Pozo de la Pena, Chinchilla, Albacete, La Roda, Las Pedroñeras, Los Hinojonos, passing through La Mancha, where he makes a brief mention of Cervantes. Villanueva de Alcardete, on to Aranjuez “a royal sitio it takes an abler pen to describe it”, although we get a pretty able description, Valdemoro, then to Madrid. “Friday 12th of May. Arrived at Col. Sabbatini’s about 5 in the afternoon - met with a genteel reception”. There follows a description of the Palace, “but as if Mortals were ever to be Marked with Discontent the mind grows insensibly tired of so much prettiness - and one longs to be at liberty to contemplate the Larger sphere of Life”. “Thursday 18th set out half past one for Alcala thro’ a dismal sandy country”. Then on to Guadalajara, Jadraque, Baraona, Almazan, Agreda, Cintruenigo “beds full of vermin”, Valtierra, Caparosso, Tafalla “a very large handsome place Great Number of fine Buildings and Beautifull country round it”, then to Pamplona. “Received great civilities from the Officers of the Irish Brigade quartered here - and in particular from Sir Wm Vaughan an English Baronet Col in the Regmt one of the Unfortunate Gentlemen in the Affair of the year 45 & excepted against in the general pardon. There follows a long favourable description of Pamplona before travelling to Roncesvalles and the Pyrenees, where they “had a very pleasant journey to the summit where the snow gave so violent a shock to the carriage the bolts drew and entirely parted the fore wheels…the going down the mountain is very disagreeable and troublesome, had rain with hailstorm & thunder & lightning for about an hour before reached St Jean Pied de Port.” Then on to Bayonne, “the gates were shut (only mention this circumstance as a remark long made of the compliance of the French to strangers - but particularly so to the English) but opened immediately on telling the inconvenience. Received a very polite compliment from the Mayor of the Town concerned on having been obliged to detain us. Tuesday 30th May rain & close weather still at Bayonne, want of horses - with infinite regret I acknowledge I passed the Boundaries of Spain to France.”
