What you’re looking at
This is a page of running prose from what appears to be a travel narrative or serial fiction titled "A Month's Tour" (page 112). The text describes the narrator's arrival at Holy-head harbour in the evening, where they were forced to stay overnight due to customs officers examining their trunks. It recounts their meal of mutton broth, lamb, and lobsters, and then their departure the following morning by coach to Gwindu, where they arrived and breakfasted at what the narrator praises as a comfortable inn that accommodates travellers with ease and civility.
