Publisher's Synopsis

In 1790, an eminent Scotsman had the very ambitious idea of compiling a complete picture of life in the whole of his country. He called on the assistance of every parish minister and sent 166 questions on every aspect of life in the last decade of the 18th century. This text contains highlights of the 'Old Statistical Account'.
