His interests and areas of expertise included literature, philosophy, history, sciences, architecture, art, geography and travel. He went on the Grand Tour with Horace Walpole and later in life devoted himself to antiquarian studies, spent time studying at the newly opened British Museum, and travelling in the Lakes and Scotland. His biographer William Mason concluded, "[p]erhaps he was the most learned man in Europe" (qt. Johnson, 'The Life of Gray' [22]).
