Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Large softcover in Very Good condition, previous owner's name label on title page. First edition, pp201. Transcribed and edited by James Buist. James Robertson was Sheriff Substitute of North Argyll between 1842 and 1846. Based at Tobermory, he kept a concise record of his stay in a series of diaries, most of which have survived. Carefully transcribed and edited by James Buist Loudon, they are now published for the first time. With their incisive insights into people and events, they have much to offer the historian and enthusiast. By illuminating people, manners and the preconceptions of the time, they shed light on social history. Local lairds stride through its pages, and emigrant ships anchor in the bay. The Sheriff Substitute was clearly a sociable man, on one occasion nothing that two emigrants, Moydart men called: crack and dram, though often lamenting lack of congenial company. He also had a keen sense of humour as his dry account of a thoroughly wet tourist excursion to Iona makes clear. Whether relating serious issues, such as the problems of the would-be emigrants, or making almost inconsequential arrangements to retrieve a night shirt and cap from an Oban hotel, James Robertson allows us a possible unique insight into his own working life and, though his eyes, into life on the island in the mid 19th century.…

Hardcover. Condición: Good. An unusual and scarce collection of ten nineteenth-century Scottish pamphlets and essays, published in Edinburgh by Edmonston and Douglas between 1865 and 1867, principally drawn from their Odds and Ends series. Bringing together a remarkably diverse selection of subjects, the collection encompasses Scottish history and religion, Highland rural life, penal reform, education, literature, book collecting and early scientific experimentation. Contributors include the distinguished Scottish physician and essayist John Brown, the historian James Anthony Froude, and Robert Buist, whose account of the pioneering salmon-breeding experiments at Stormontfield on the River Tay is of particular historical interest. The latter work has a notable connection with Charles Darwin, who corresponded with Buist about his observations of salmon and subsequently cited his research in The Descent of Man (1871). Another particularly appealing inclusion is Bibliomania, an essay on the collecting and appreciation of books, while John Brown's The Enterkin recalls an episode from Scotland's turbulent Covenanting history. Together these separately published works form a fascinating miscellany of Victorian Scottish intellectual and cultural life, preserved in an attractive contemporary half-leather binding. Comprising: Convicts by a Practical Hand, 1865;  The Enterkin, by John Brown, M.D., 1865;  Essays by an Old Man, No. 1, In Memoriam - Vanitas Vanitatum - Friends, 1865;  Address delivered before the Philosophical Institution of Edinburgh on 3d November; The Influence of the Reformation on the Scottish Character, by James Anthony Froude, 1865;  Letters on the Education of Young Children, by S.G.O., 1866;  The Stormontfield Piscicultural Experiments 1853-1866, by Robert Buist, 1866;  A Tract for the Times, 1866;  The Highland Shepherd, by the Author of 'Sheep Framers and Drovers', 1867;  Bibliomania, 1867; and;  'Cakes, Leeks, Puddings and Potatoes', A Lecture on the Nationalities of the United Kingdom, by George Seton, Advocate, 1865.
