First edition in French. iv 412; iv 392 pp. 2 vols. 8vo. "a good introduction of Scotland to Frenchmen" First French edition of A Tour through the Highlands of Scotland . London 1787.<br/><br/>"This Scottish philanthropist was for many years a bookseller of eminence in London and devoted the fortune he acquired in his business to the improvement of his country. He had long been concerned over the wretched condition of the Highlanders and had made as many as sixteen journeys since 1764 into various parts of the North. He succeeded in arousing the active interest of the London Highland Society in the formation of a British Society for extending the fisheries and improving the sea ports on the coasts. Subscriptions were taken and then he set out on the above recorded tour for which he was voted a gold medal by the Society. The two principal improvements he advocated were inland navigation e.g. tbe Crinan Canal since accomplished and the establishment of free villages or fishing stations on the east coast." - Cox. <br/><br/>Cox says of this French edition: "This work served as a good introduction of Scotland to Frenchmen and is of importance for the story of Ossianism in France. He reproduced some of the arguments of John Smith's Gaelic Antiquities Edinb. 1780 in reply to Johnson's attacks whereby Frenchmen became acquainted with some of the theories of Smith an acquired some notion of the Highland bards.<br/><br/>The Tour was first published in 1787 at the Highland Society of London.
