Description:Excerpt from The War Diary of a London Scot: Alderman G. M. Macaulay; 1796-7; With a Review of the Year: The author of this diary, George Mackenzie MacAulay, was a native of the parish of Uig in the island of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, where he was born in the year 1750. He was a cousin of Lord MacAulay, whose ancestors, the MacAulays of Uig, can be traced back to the sixteenth century as the dominating (and turbulent) clan of that district. The name of the Rev. Aulay MacAulay, Vicar of Kothley, Leicestershire, and uncle of Lord MacAulay, appears in the diary.Of the early life of George MacAulay, nothing is known, but his use of nautical phrases is suggestive. The lure of London tempted him, when still a boy, as it has since tempted many a youth from the distant Highlands, to take the plunge that leads sometimes to wealth or distinction, sometimes to poverty and obscurity, and, perhaps most frequently, to the neutral region of suburban smugness. MacAulay, as he tells us himself, came to London at the age of fifteen.About the Publisher: Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
