A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Having resolved to visit the I sle of Man, a place remarkable for the singularity of its lavs, customs, and privileges, my curiosity prompted me, previously to setting off, to gain every information in my powder respecting it. With some difficulty I procured a map of the island, but tried in vain to purchase any book upon the subject. During my stay in Man, I heard various complaints of the want of such a publication, and vras thereby determined to submit to the indulgence of the public the present collection of facts and observations. This is, I believe, the only work which combines, with a description of the country, a history of the island, and an outline of its laws; and the only one which has even touched upon its mineralogy.
