An Account of the progress made by John Adair geographer, : as to the survey and description of this kingdom, and navigating the coast, and isles..
[Edinburgh? : s.n.,
1704?].
Anonymous: a defence of the work so far of the geographer John Adair, in surveying and mapping Scotland and its coasts, from the "foolish clamours, of some unlearned and malicious men".
In 1686 Adair was granted money by the Scottish Parliament via an act of tunnage to survey Scotland and its coasts (further acts in his favour were passed in 1695 and 1705). The first part of Adair's "Description of the sea coasts and islands of Scotland" was not published until 1703, and the second part was never published. This work lists the costs of Adair's project up to the recent 1703 work.
