This book is the story of one family's forty years of annual visits to one of the most attractive and little known inner Hebridean islands. Interwoven with their story are tales of the island's colourful history, glimpses of its fascinating wildlife and an introduction to some of the characters who have lived and continue to live on this wild but welcoming island. John Rickman (28 May 1913 - 13 October 1997) was a British broadcaster, journalist, and author. A broadcaster with London Weekend Television's World of Sport for 23 years, he was the first person to introduce the sport of horse racing on an independent television channel and is considered one of the important early television broadcasters of that sport. He also worked as a journalist with the Daily Mail and penned the books Homes Of Sport (1952) and Eight Flat Racing Stables (1979). Ref X 2. Signed by Author(s).

Three works bound in one, "Miscellaneous Articles" first edition, 33, (3 advertisement), 36, 40 pp. Some light browning and minor tears, one corner torn away without loss. 20th century boards. "Miscellaneous Articles" collects 8 pieces; letters to the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Authors of the Republican, Abbé Syeyes, Lord Onslow the people of France and two to Henry Dundas as well as his "Thoughts on the Peace". "A Letter to Abbé Raynal" first appeared in 1782 and remains one of Paine's most important works, disputing an earlier account of the American revolution, and indeed the definition of "revolution" itself. The "Letter to the Addressers." concerns the government's warning against "wicked and seditious libels" in May 1792, directed chiefly at the second part of "The Rights of Man" and follows on from his letters to Dundas and Onslow. This response was at the printers even as he fled the country in September of the same year. Gimbel pp. 83, 72, 74. Sabin 58222 notes similar editions of "Abbé Raynal".
