Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Orkney and Zetland, Vol. 1: Illustrative of the History, Antiquities, Scenery, and Customs of Those Islands It may be proper to state, that the writer of these Notes has been res1dent in Orkney for a period of above seven years, and that, during the greater part of that time, he has devoted a considerable portion of his leisure to the investigation of every thing in that district by which its past or present condition are characterised. This has been done partly for his own gratification, and partly in the discharge of public duties. In those inquiries, he found Wallace' s and Barry's Accounts of Orkney (both of these being also now scarce) unsatisfactory in many important particulars, especially with rc ference to the period that the islands have been ah nexed to Scotland. And he has attempted to supply various defects, as well as to correct imper feet views, by having recourse to original records and papers, which were either inaccessible to those writers, or were passed over by them without due attention being bestowed upon the tenor of the original documents. To the legendary era of the Northern Islands, while they were subject to the Scandinavian power, he has paid little attention.

And thus my worthie friend, John Bruce of Simbister, was bred himself; and educateth his Son so, after he had accomplished himself with travelling through the Countries abovementioned, he did apply himself to survey all the Coast of these Isles of Shetland, and has made a Large Map of all the Voes, i. e. Bays and Sounds and the entries to them, and has marked the meaths in them, and showen where dangers are, and how they are to be evited, and is resolved, so soon as he goes home, to take a more exact Survey of all again, and to miss no Bank, Rock, nor Shallow: which, when he has done, and given the last stroke and finishing to his Map, will make the Navigation in these Isles secure, which will much contribute to the Advancing of Trade, and promoting of the Fisherie in these Isles and their Neighbourhood: from which our Neighbours, in times of Peace, had vast advantage, by the great Fleets they sent thither yearly: and likewise this Map will be most usefull to our Fleets, and to these of our Allies, who pass that way to the Indies and other Countries, when the Passages towards the South are not so clear and safe. The greatest part of the food of the Commons in the Summer time, is Milk and Fish. They milk thrice a day, churn once a day, and make very good Butter and Cheese: some of them drink neither Ale nor any strong Liquors, but their Drink they make of Milk and Water, they call Bland: or water alone, and these often live to six or seven-score of years. Their Fish afford not...

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The zeal for Archæological investigation which has recently manifested itself in nearly every country of Europe, has been traced, not without reason, to the impulse which proceeded from Abbotsford. Though such is not exactly the source which we might expect to give birth to the transition from profitless dilettantism to the intelligent spirit of scientific investigation, yet it is unquestionable that Sir Walter Scott was the first of modern writers "to teach all men this truth, which looks like a truism, and yet was as good as unknown to writers of history and others, till so taught,—that the bygone ages of the world were actually filled by living men." If, however, the impulse to the pursuit of Archæology as a science be thus traceable to our own country, neither Scotland nor England can lay claim to the merit of having been the first to recognise its true character, or to develop its fruits. The spirit of antiquarianism has not, indeed, slumbered among us. It has taken form in Roxburgh, Bannatyne, Abbotsford, and other literary Clubs, producing valuable results for the use of the historian, but limiting its range within the Medieval era, and abandoning to isolated labourers that ampler field of research which embraces the prehistoric period of nations, and belongs not to literature but to the science of Nature. It was not till continental Archæologists had shewn what legitimate induction is capable of, that those of Britain were content to forsake laborious trifling, and associate themselves with renewed energy of purpose to establish the study on its true footing as an indispensable link in the circle of the sciences. Amid the increasing zeal for the advancement of knowledge, the time appears to have at length come for the thorough elucidation of Primeval Archæology as an element in the history of man. The British Association, expressly constituted for the purpose of giving a stronger impulse and a more systematic direction to scientific inquiry, embraced within its original scheme no provision for the encouragement of those investigations which most directly tend to throw light on the origin and progress of the human race. Physical archæology was indeed admissible, in so far as it dealt with the extinct fauna of the palæontologist; but it was practically pronounced to be without the scientific pale whenever it touched on that portion of the archæology of the globe which comprehends the history of the race of human beings to which we ourselves belong. A delusive hope was indeed raised by the publication in the first volume of the Transactions of the Association, of one memoir on the contributions afforded by physical and philological researches to the history of the human species,—but the ethnologist was doomed to disappointment. During several annual meetings, elaborate and valuable memoirs, prepared on various questions relating to this important branch of knowledge, and to the primeval population of the British Isles, were returned to their authors without being read. This pregnant fact has excited little notice hitherto; but when the scientific history of the first half of the nineteenth century shall come to be reviewed by those who succeed us, and reap the fruits of such advancement as we now aim at, it will not be overlooked as an evidence of the exoteric character of much of the overestimated science of the age. Through the persevering zeal of a few resolute men of distinguished ability, ethnology was at length afforded a partial footing among the recognised sciences, and at the meeting of the Association to be held at Ipswich in 1851, it will for the first time take its place as a distinct section of British Science.
