Description

First published in 1927. John Macdonald (1741-96) was born, and died, a Scottish Highlander.

First published at the time of the French Revolution, these memoirs of his days in service provide a rich panorama of life in the company of blind fiddlers, maid-servants, the Scottish aristocracy, soldiers, historians, Oriental Princes, servants of the East India Company and men of great wealth, including James Coutts the banker.

In 1768 - as the result of an errand - it fell to Macdonald to witness the death of Laurence Sterne. 'Simply packed with interest' Sunday Times '..a model of genuine writing' Evening Standard 'Deserves a high place among autobiographies.' Nation
