PREFACE. Vll 



ments which they specially cultivate. The Author is indebted 

 to a relative, Mr. Robert Young, jun., for an illustrated de- 

 scription of the antiquities of Bute, of which no connected 

 account has before appeared; and to the skilful pencil of Mr. 

 Young's father for most of the illustrations of the present 

 edition. Mr. Stephen Miller has spared no pains to render 

 these faithfully in his lignographs, which it is hoped will add 

 to the interest and value of the work.
