Reader's note

This beautiful pocket sized book is a fascinating look into history but not as you know it. The pages are gleaned from an entertaining volume, known to collectors of literature entitled 'Letters from Edinburgh, written in the years 1774 and 1775' This book which appeared anonymously, consists of a portion of the correspondence of Captain Topham, an English officer of culture and ability, written during his six months residence in the Northern capital. The peculiar value and interest of his pages lie not merely in their clever descriptions of men and things, but in their being from the pen of one who was a resident in the city long enough to become intimately acquainted with its people and their ways. If this sounds interesting, then this book could be the perfect dash of blue to add to your home reference library.
