ABSTRACT

Our adventurer, being equally tired with the prosperity, the grievances, and the political prejudices of Southampton, after taking some refreshment, quitted it in hopes of finding better principles, as he had / advanced further into the country. He determined to pursue his journey on foot, as the mode of travelling best calculated to procure him an insight into the disposition of the people at large, towards the present order of things. Actuated by these sentiments, he sallied out of Bar Gate, on his road towards the metropolis of Great Britain; though had his inclination led him either to Salisbury, or Portsmouth, the Land’s End, or the Foreland, such is the peninsular situation of Southampton, he must have made his exit through the same gate.
