Balgarnie's Salt

Résumé du livre

In the 10 months following the death of Sir Titus Salt in December 1876, Reverend Robert Balgarnie wrote a biography of Sir Titus. The original text of the biography text forms the main part of this present book. The author Balgarnie, writing the biography in 1877, was not addressing an audience of the 21st century. Whilst his words remain an invaluable and highly readable account of the life of Sir Titus, the present day reader will inevitably be less familiar with the circumstances and characters that Balgarnie refers to in his 19th century account than would have originally have been the case. Barlo and Shaw have provided over 350 footnotes of commentary and additions to accompany Balgarnie's text, and augmented the six illustrations of the original with other plans and images.
