The principal object of our journey was connected with the concerns of our own religious Society, that of Friends; but we also made a point of inspecting the prisons in the several towns, through which we passed.îóPreface. Provenance: From the library of Frances Anne Vane, Marchioness of Londonderry (1800-1865) with her gilt monogram stamp to head of spine.
