Late 18th/early 19th century ownership inscriptions of Charles Samson and John Dunoon to half-title and title-page respectively. A very good copy. Important topographical guide to the remotest, now uninhabited, island of the Hebrides. Samuel Johnson applauded the History of St. Kilda as "A pretty piece of topography", and took a copy of the guide on his famous tour of the Hebrides, meeting with Macaulay to discuss the work. There is some contention surrounding the authorship of the work, with a theory, popularised by Johnson and James Boswell, that Dr John Macpherson of Skye had actually written the book working from the notes of Macaulay.
