"In 1701 Sir John Percival embarked on a fourteen-week tour of England, traveling with the noted diarist William Byrd II of Virginia. during these travels, Percival kept a detailed journal of his observations on the places, people, and ideas he encountered, commenting on an astonishing range of issues. In later years this experience bore fruit in Percival's patronage of the arts and in his involvement with the colonization of Georgia. Reverberations of the tour are also evident in the literary efforts of William Byrd, in his subsequent town-building endeavors, and in the world he created upon his return to Virginia. Having viewed some of England's greatest collections of art and books, Byrd assembled a celebrated gallery of English portraits and displayed them amidst one of the most splendid libraries in colonial America."
