About the author

Walter Thom

1770–1824

A Scottish writer and journalist who moved from Aberdeen bookselling into newspaper work in Dublin, he is best remembered for his early history of Aberdeen and a lively book on competitive walking. His life seems to have crossed trade, publishing, and politics, giving his work an appealing sense of real-world experience.
