A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland and The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides

A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland and The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides
Samuel Johnson  •  James Boswell
TRAVEL NARRATIVE •  1984 •  PAPER  • 429 PAGES

Written when Johnson was 63 and Boswell 32 in 1773 (when they had been friends for ten years), these travel journals were the result of a three-month trip to Scotland. Johnson observed Scotland, and Boswell observed Johnson. Witty and entertaining, these travel classics complement each other as Johnson describes the customs, education, religion, agriculture, and trade of the Scots, and Boswell records Johnson's behavior and conversation.  (SCT07, $18.00)
