“The letters from Pococke to his mother are far from dull being packed full of interesting morsels about plants, food, gardens, Dresden porcelain, menageries, clothes, scenery, silver mines, all manner of things, not just antiquities or architecture....Rachel Finnegan has done an excellent job selecting and editing.”
E. Charles Nelson, Archives of Natural History 39:2 (2012)
“The Pococke and Milles correspondence will make a real contribution to Grand Tour studies and related disciplines both as a record of the travel memoirs of gentlemen of narrow means and for the rich interpretation offered by Finnegan in her introductory chapters and scholarly footnotes.”
Rebecca Campion, Eighteenth Century Ireland 27 (2012)
