During the 18th century, Edinburgh was the intellectual hub of the
Western world. Adam Smith, David Hume, Dugald Stewart and Adam
Ferguson delivered their diverse tomes on philosophy and political
economy. Others such as James Hutton, Joseph Black, Lord Hailes,
Sir John Clerk of Eldin and Robert Adam pushed ahead with new
discoveries and ideas in the fields of science, medicine, law and
architecture. If Edinburgh was the beating heart of this Scottish
Enlightenment then its physical embodiment was the New Town and the
great civic improvements in the old medieval city. In this
informative and highly illustrated guide Sheila Szatkowski
introduces the noteworthy buildings and people of 18th- and early
19th-century Edinburgh. It is a book about people and places, clubs
and conversations, and a celebration of how topography and cultural
achievement came together to create the great enlightenment city
that is Edinburgh.
