Evidence for two tours of Kent are found on pages xxv and xxvi in 'Turner and Girtin's Picturesque Views, Sixty Years Since' (1854); published by Joseph Hogarth who later, in 1864, took possession of 'The rising squall, hot wells, from St. Vincent's rock, Bristol' (Exhibited RA 1793) and 'The Country Waggon, Snowdon - Early Morning', both of which were previously in the possession of Rev. Dr. Francis Russell Nixon, Bishop of Tasmania.

Summary of the examination of Miller's narrative in respect of the two Kent tours.

The two Kent tours are described in a single paragraph on pages 25 and 26 illustrated here (a footnote is omitted from page 25). Miller's writing does not run consecutively. This is all one big thought gathered around the inception of the Walker commission:

This paragraph is examined on the following pages:

  • The inception of the Walker commission
    :
  • "His first oil picture"
    :
  • "The previous occasion"
    :
  • "This picture*"
    :
    • "this picture" context 1
      "This picture..." as if it is a stand alone comment
      :
    • "this picture" context 2
      "This picture" as if it is 'View of Rochester'
      :
    • "this picture" context 3
      "This picture" as if is intended to refer to Dr. Nixon's picture that follows
      :
  • Miller's concluding statement on the print of Rochester
