Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Orkney Islands off the northern coast of Scotland and discusses how they could be better utilized for trade to aid economic development. The author argues that with their highly strategic position between numerous Northern Kingdoms, this region could be a significant trading center but remains vastly underdeveloped. Fishing is also highlighted as an industry with untapped potential. The historical and economic landscape of the islands is carefully described to provide context and support the author's proposals. This book will be of interest to both historians and policymakers interested in economic development and the hidden potential for advancement within specific regions. Its insights into the factors affecting growth in established yet underdeveloped communities make it a worthwhile read.

Quarter Leather. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. A good copy of the 1st edition of this scarce work describing the Orkney Islands. James Fea was part of the Fea family of Clastrain. He inherited the estate, burdened by complex ownership issues and debt, in 1760. He names himself a surgeon by trade being apprenticed to a surgeon as a boy and becoming a navy surgeon during military service. His Estate issues were finally settled in 1772, but the publication of this work from Holy-Rood House - at that time a debtors sanctuary - suggests that the settlement still left debt. This book gives an interesting account of the Orkneys in the eighteenth century, from the physical landscape and climate to the population, and economic situation. Fea is particularly scathing about state of agriculture and critical of the system of granting short leases to tenant farmers. This copy is in a newer quarter leather binding with gilt titles and date to spine and cloth boards. The binding is in near fine condition. There is a bookplate of John Davie Manson Robertson to the front pastedown. Marbled paper blanks have been added. Contents: title page with neat pencil annotation at the bottom; text pp 1-66; finis.
