# Page Analysis This is a prose text page from what appears to be a travel narrative or memoir section titled "A MONTH's TOUR, &c." The visible text describes the opening of a journey: on May 19th, the narrator departed from an obscure village in Lancashire with two companions, arrived at Chester for dinner, then traveled toward Holywell via Hawarden and Northop, where they lodged for the night. The narrator notes the roads were excellent and the scenery beautiful. The page is marked with section letters (A, B) and contains typical 18th-century typography (the long 's' character). This appears to be mid-narrative prose rather than a title page or illustration.
