[JACKSON (Mrs. John)?]
Notes of a journey in the north of Ireland in the summer of 1827.

A very uncommon narrative of a lady’s journey through Antrim and Londonderry, with a passage on the Giant’s Causeway. The authorial attribution of Mrs John Jackson is courtesy of the National Library of Ireland. Though published in London, the preface is signed Louth in Lincolnshire, and the book itself is printed by J. & J. Jackson of the same, who were established booksellers and printers.

Surprisingly scarce. No copies reported to Rare Book Hub, and OCLC finds only one physical copy, at Cambridge University. It seems that some of those described as internet resources must also be physical copies, as there are records of digitised copies from the collections of NYPL, University of St Andrews and BL. There is also a copy in the National Library of Ireland.
