Manuscripts
These volumes cover Hatchett's tour of England and Scotland from April 26 to August 14, 1796. In the diary, Hatchett talks about the cities in which he traveled; the various landscapes he passed; and each town's mining, manufacturing and metallurgy industries. He started his tour in London and traveled to Devon where he saw the Portland stone quarries and the Bovey lignite mines. He then went to Cornwall where he observed mining and smelting operations and collected materials. His next stop was Birmingham where he visited Boulton & Watt and other factories of brass-ware before proceeding to the great iron works at Coalbrookdale. Hatchett travels then to Derbyshire where he describes the city's lead mines. He also visited the steel works in Sheffield and chemical and lead works in Newcastle. He traveled north to Edinburgh where he spent two weeks in academic circles. Also in Scotland he visited lead mines at Tyndrum and Glasgow. He journeyed through Clydesdale and Lowther Hills where he saw their lead mines and ironworks. He then started his journey home through the Lake District.
