A DESCRIPTION OF THE Western Islands of Scotland (CIRCA 1695.) TH BY M. MARTIN. HIS extremely rare work is one of the principal sources of information we have regarding the inhabitants of the Western Islands in earlier times and before the era of modern innovations. The work is constantly quoted by writers, but owing to its rarity and very high price, has not been available except to the few. Martin was exceedingly well qualified for the task he undertook, having been for long resident in Skye, and personally visited all the islands about the year 1695. He gives us the result in a voluminous work of about 400 pages, the contents alone occupying 17 pages additional. He gives a separate and distinct description of each island from Bute and Arran in the south, to St. Kilda in the north, and of the inhabitants viewed from all aspects. Every feature both of the people and of the islands is dealt with; but special attention is paid to such subjects as the mode of government, religion, public and domestic customs, superstition, animal life, agriculture, fisheries, &c., and dwells largely on the native medical treatment in use at that period, Druidical, Christian, and Historical antiquities, trade, commerce, land, natural history, language, family history, &c. &c. The style in which the work is written is exceedingly racy and interesting, and often quaint and witty, without the smallest tendency to dulness and prolixity; the result being a most interesting and vivid description of the people and places, as they were seen by him about two hundred years ago. The reprint is a copy of the original, and also contains the very curious map as originally issued. The number of copies is strictly limited to 250. A DESCRIPTION OF THE WESTERN ISLANDS OF SCOTLAND (1549) Called Hybrides; with Genealogies of the Chief Clans. BY DONALD MUNRO, High Dean of the Isles, Who travelled through the most of them in the year 1549. WE give the title, which speaks for itself, in full. This is the earliest detailed description of the Western Islands, and, as in the case of Martin's work, is one of the chief sources of early information regarding the Hebrides. Hitherto, on account of the difficulty of procuring it, the work has been out of the reach of all but the few. One hundred and fifty years earlier than Martin's, it is exceedingly quaint and interesting. The author deals with each island in detail, describing all about the places and people that he thought worthy of note. As mentioned in the title, the Dean travelled personally through most of the islands in 1549. In the new edition all the old and curious spellings, expressions, and names are of course strictly retained; these form an exceedingly interesting feature in the work. The number of copies is strictly limited to 250. PRICES AND RATES TO SUBSCRIBERS.
