"This book traces back nearly 70 years almost to the very start of the seminal Yawkey Era recalling some of the greatest players in Red Sox history and some of their greatest games. Beginning with Bobby Doerr the Hall of Fame second baseman who joined the Red Sox in 1937 this book touches on players and their most memorable games from every decade right up to those who finally experienced the exhilaration of winning that elusive World Series. Among the players who recount their most memorable Red Sox games in their Red Sox careers are Johnny Pesky Dominic DiMaggio Mel Parnell Frank Malzone Bill Monbouquette Rico Petrocelli Fred Lynn Butch Hobson Wade Boggs Bruce Hurst and many more. Their recollections and stories - linking eight decades of Boston Red Sox baseball and revealing many details unknown until now - will undoubtedly awaken fond but probably long-forgotten memories of lifelong Red Sox fans themselves.

"This Scottish philanthropist was for many years a bookseller of eminence in London and devoted the fortune he acquired in his business to the improvement of his country. He had long been concerned over the wretched condition of the Highlanders and had made as many as sixteen journeys since 1764 into various parts of the North. He succeeded in arousing the active interest of the London Highland Society in the formation of a British Society for extending the fisheries and improving the sea ports on the coasts. Subscriptions were taken and then he set out on the above recorded tour for which he was voted a gold medal by the Society. The two principal improvements he advocated were inland navigation e.g. tbe Crinan Canal since accomplished and the establishment of free villages or fishing stations on the east coast." - Cox. Cox says of this French edition: "This work served as a good introduction of Scotland to Frenchmen and is of importance for the story of Ossianism in France. He reproduced some of the arguments of John Smith's Gaelic Antiquities Edinb. 1780 in reply to Johnson's attacks whereby Frenchmen became acquainted with some of the theories of Smith an acquired some notion of the Highland bards.
