Synopsis
A Discourse Containing A Summary Of The Proceedings Of The Directors Of The Society For Extending The Fisheries And Improving The Sea Coasts Of Great Britain, By G. Dempster. Together With Some Reflections Intended To Promote The Success Of The Said Society, By J. Gray is a late- eighteenth-century publication that compiles the proceedings of the British Society for extending the fisheries, with Dempster’s summary and Gray’s reflections. The text comprises a prefatory address by George Dempster and includes the society’s activities since 1788, along with an extensive plan for Highland and coastal development. It details the Tobermory (Isle of Mull) and Ullapool (Ross) schemes, and discusses Cannay and other Hebridean settlements, laying out proposed town plans, leases, ports, and governance mechanisms. Gray’s reflections propose a comprehensive strategy for profitable fishing settlements, emphasizing population concentration, tenancy arrangements, infrastructure (harbours, customs houses, schools, churches), and a joint-stock framework. The discourse argues that combining fisheries with agriculture, manufacture, and maritime commerce can generate national wealth, curb emigration, and warrant government support and regulatory reforms. The work stands as a historical-political economy tract advocating reform in Highland policy and coastal development.
