A review by roseofoulesfame
A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland and The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides by Samuel Johnson

3.0

Boswell's half of what I have termed 'Johnson and Boswell do Scotland' contains rather more quoting in Latin and discussing theology than I was expecting, but I still enjoyed this book, which (as you can see!) I read at a rate of about 2 pages per day. This worked well for me, as both parts are quite dense.

The two authors have different focuses and styles, which I thought worked well together. Kind of in awe of Johnson's memory and debating skills (though, like Boswell, I don't always agree with him!).
