First published in 1927. John Macdonald (1741-96) was born, and
died, a Scottish Highlander. First published at the time of the
French Revolution, these memoirs of his days in service provide a
rich panorama of life in the company of blind fiddlers,
maid-servants, the Scottish aristocracy, soldiers, historians,
Oriental Princes, servants of the East India Company and men of
great wealth, including James Coutts the banker. In 1768 - as the
result of an errand - it fell to Macdonald to witness the death of
Laurence Sterne.
