the journal of a tour to the hebrides

It is a collective of Johnson and Boswell's memories of their trip from Edinburg to northeastern coasts of Scotland, first published in 1785;1 year after Johnson's death.

<p dir="auto">While Dr.Johnson (<code>Samuel Johnson) is a keen observant of the people and culture around him-concluding from his choice of words, finding the people and environment a bit primitive and disgusting; Boswell tends to write more about Dr. Johnson and his reactions as he looks upon him. I would recommend reading this in order to compare different perspectives and writing styles on the same situations. <hr /><em>Posted on <a href="https://hede.io" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Hede.io - Knowledge Sharing Dictionary <br /> Read <a href="https://hede.io/hede-io/@bera.dincer/the-journal-of-a-tour-to-the-hebrides" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">this entry or <a href="https://hede.io/the-journal-of-a-tour-to-the-hebrides--1353" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">all entries about the journal of a tour to the hebrides.<hr />
