Ink inscription on verso of front flyleaf facing title on paper with watermark date 1817: This Journal agrees in substance with the narrative given by my Father in his Tour to the Hebrides which he received probably from the same authorities in the year 1773; but the present account having been collected at a period so much nearer the time when the events happened is considerably more circumstantial and contains some very amusing details. See particularly p. 27 and p. 29. Ja. Boswell. With the bookplate of Mr David Roberts. 7 Fitzroy Street, Fitzroy Square on front pastedown.
