A Journey to the Western Isles of Scotland
Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
Samuel Johnson’s wit and tongue-in-cheek expressions make this record of the economy, education and politicks [sic] of remote settlements an entertaining pleasure. Johnson describes the primary produce, orders of precedence, and the politics of Scotland. Johnson’s data is collected by both his observations and his inquiry. - Summary by Chris Greaves
