1791 Newte Tour of SCOTLAND 1ed
England Castles Loch Lomond William Thomson RARE
William Thomson was an 18th-century Scottish historian
who published his works under the name Thomas Newte. Thomson’s most important
work was his book ‘Prospects and
Observations on a Tour of England’ in which he describes Newte’s excursion
through Great Britain. While the character of Newte and his family are
fictional, the descriptions are not. This book describes locations such as
Loch-Lomond, Cawdor Castle, Perth, history of ancient Scottish family feuds
(Montrose vs Argyll), Edinburgh and castle, York, and so much more.
This 1791 first edition of Newte’s ‘Tour’ includes impressive, full-page illustrated views of Scotland
and England landscapes and castles.
