Description
Excerpt from Travels in Holland, the United Provinces, England, Scotland, and Ireland: M. DC. XXXIV M. DC. XXXV
This volume contains the journal of two excursions made by the writer: one in the year 1634 through the United Provinces the other in 1635 through parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. There cannot be any doubt that the traveller, though connected with the Egertons by intermarriages, was not himself of that family, as supposed by Bishop Percy, but Sir William Brereton of Handford in the county of Chester, the great Parliamentary general, whose exploits in that distracted period are inseparably interwoven with the history of his native county. He was born in 1604, created a baronet in 1627, and died in 1661.
