What you’re looking at
This is a page of running prose from what appears to be a travel narrative or tour account (page 13, titled "A MONTH's TOUR"). The text describes the author's journey through Wales, mentioning arrival at Brekil, where a hunting club met at the Swan Inn, and subsequently the vale of Clwyd, which the narrator describes as fertile and beautiful, running nearly east and west for twenty miles from the mountains above Rythin to the sea at Ryddlan. The passage includes a quoted poetic couplet about hills and alps.
