KINSEY, The Revd. W. M.
In 1827 Kinsey made a tour of Portugal with the intention of making the country better known to English people. From his journals and a series of letters written to his friend Thomas Haynes Bayly, as well as from historical and other sources, Kinsey published this book. His interesting account is well-illustrated with engravings by G. Cooke and Skelton from drawings mainly made by a companion during the tour. The book was dedicated to Lord Auckland to whom Kinsey was chaplain. A second edition with more plates appeared in 1829.Abbey Travel 142. Colas 1612. Lipperheide 1218. Hiler p. 499.
