Short bibliography at rear.* One of the ?Britain in Pictures? series, Janet Adam Smith has written a brief guide to the history and development of the Scottish people from before the reformation to the allied landings in Europe which involved Scottish regiments. The first chapter starts with the words ?As soon as the traveller from the South arrives in Scotland he finds himself among people whose language, customs and outlook are not exactly those of the comparable class in England.? The particular importance of this volume is that Smith gives a fascinating and engagingly written insight into these differences and the ways in which they arose.* A NEAR VG+ copy of the 1st. edition, 1st. impression, in this collectable series.
