David Dalrymple, Lord Hailes : Annals of Scotland

' [Johnson said] Lord Hailes's "Annals of Scotland" have not that painted form which is the taste of this age; but it is a book which will always sell, it has such a stability of dates, such a certainty of facts, and such a punctuality of citation. I never before read Scotch history with certainty.'

Century: 1700-1799     Reader/Listener/Group: Samuel Johnson      Print: Book
