Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of a Lady of Quality: Being the Narrative of a Journey From Scotland to the West Indies, North Carolina, and Portugal, in the Years 1774 to 1776
E finding of an interesting manuscript is much like the sighting of an unexpected island by a mariner sailing in strange seas, for the exploration of either, whatever may be the ultimate value of the discovery, affords all the excite ment that accompanies an adventure into the unknown. Nor has this Journal of a Lady of Quality, stumbled upon accidentally in a search for other material, failed in any par ticular to fulfill the expectations of its discoverers or the promise of its charming title and opening pages; and one can only marvel that such a treasure should have lain so long unproclaimed.
