Synopsis
An Account Of The Isle Of Man,: Its Inhabitants, Language, Soil, Remarkable Curiosities, The Succession Of Its Kings And Bishops, Down To The Present Time. By Way Of Essay. : With A Voyage To I-Colomb-Kill by William Sacheverell. This historical and antiquarian work surveys the Isle of Man, combining travel writing, natural history, and political history. It traces the island's geography and soil, its languages, and its remarkable curiosities, including the succession of kings and bishops and the changes in governance from ancient Druids and Norse rulers to the English crown. The text explains the island's constitutional structure, such as the divisions into Sheadings, the Lord's regality, the 24 keys and Deemsters, and the system by which tenants held land. Interleaved are accounts of the native language, trade, and agriculture, as well as a voyage to Columba kill and a separate dissertation on Mona of Cefar and Tacitus. The collection presents a composite portrait of the island's history, people, and culture, anchored in archival sources and early modern scholarship.
