Vindication Of Orkney: In Answer To Notes On Orkney, By Alexander Peterkin (1823)

Vindication Of Orkney: In Answer To Notes On Orkney, By Alexander Peterkin (1823) is a book written by Walter Traill. The book is a response to Alexander Peterkin's Notes on Orkney, which was published in 1823. In his book, Traill defends the history and culture of Orkney, a group of islands off the coast of Scotland, against Peterkin's criticisms. He argues that Peterkin's work is inaccurate and biased, and presents evidence to support his claims. The book covers a range of topics, including the history of Orkney, its people and customs, and its natural resources. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Orkney, and provides a fascinating insight into the debates and controversies that surrounded the study of the islands in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
