Thomas Campbell (1733-1795) was an Irish Protestant clergyman, best known as a travel writer and for his accounts of the circle of Samuel Johnson. This book was first published in London in 1777. "There is not much philosophy in this book, which is supposed to record the tour of an Englishman in the south of Ireland, and gives a description of the chief towns. Sundry remarks on the trade of the country are thrown in, and Campbell advocates 'a political and commercial union' with England. Boswell styles the 'Survey' 'a very entertaining book, which has, however, one fault - that it assumes the fictitious character of an Englishman.' In the 'Survey' Johnson's epitaph on Goldsmith appeared for the first time in print" - DNB. ESTC T85072.<
