[1781]
Sullivan (1852-1806), of Irish Parentage, spent his early life in India, returning to England permanently only after 1783. The present whistle-stop tour, undertaken on a visit in 1778, covers London, Bath, Bristol, Wells, Glastonbury, Winchester, Cardiff, Gloucester, Birmingham, Sheffield, York, Edinburgh, Carlisle and Liverpool. Sullivan's main interest is in instances of both natural and man-made beauty. He visits numerous country houses and castles, and there are descriptions of the houses, gardens, and art collections at Prior Park, Fonthill, Longleat, Envil, Hagley, Chatsworth, Castle Howard, Alnwick Castle etc. When he reaches Glamis Castle he pauses to recite Act 2, scene 2 from Macbeth.
