Thornton (John, 1720-1790). 'A short account of my Travels from Riga through Germany, Italy etc to England. With what is curious to be seen at each Place begun at Riga the 26th July 1742 N. S. or O. S. the 15th July 1742 with also the Tour of England, Scotland and Ireland', manuscript in brown ink on paper, [2] 1-[180] pp. (a few errors in pagination), 30-35 lines to the page, last 5 leaves loose, text ending mid-sentence on final page, front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate (incorporating a chevron sable between three hawthorn bushes above name 'John Thornton, London') and pencil inscription 'Melville Library', contemporary comb-marbled paper boards, rubbed, 4to (24 x 19 cm) (Qty: 1)NOTESA detailed and highly descriptive journal in all appearances by noted merchant and philanthropist John Thornton (1720-1790). After the death of his father, Robert, a wealthy merchant and director of the Bank of England, ' Thornton inherited the Clapham estate and about £100,000, which he increased greatly in the Russian trade. A large part of Thornton's income was devoted to the encouragement of a gospel ministry in various parts of the world' (ODNB); these business interests would seem to explain his unusual route to Italy via Prussia. His account is characterised by a grand tourist's eye for art and architecture, and fair-minded descriptions of people and places visited, the latter including Memel (modern Klaipeda, in Lithuania), Königsberg (Kaliningrad), and various cities in what is now Poland, including Danzig (Gdansk) and Köslin (Koszalin). Thornton's son Henry (1760-1815) became a influental banker and an important figure in the Clapham Sect, while his daughter Jane married Alexander Leslie-Melville, 7th Earl of Leven (1749-1820); his great-great-grandson was E. M. Forster.
