Leland, Hearne, The Itinerary of John Leland the Antiquary
The third edition of the important ‘itineraries’ of the poet and antiquary John Leland (c.1503-1552), who made a number of trips around England and Wales under some kind of commission from the king to do research in libraries. Continuing his travels he made regular notes intending to produce a number of works, none of which appeared. Nonetheless, ‘his undertaking was an extraordinarily ambitious one and marks the beginning of English topographical studies’ (ODNB).
