Additional Product Information
During his life time(Victorian) John Noble had been a bookseller in Inverness aquiring a large amount of local history with the intention to publish it at some point. His premature death meant this never happened until John Whyte decided to edit and publish the collection in a tribute to his friend.
The "Miscellanea" relates many local stories around Inverness during 2nd half of the 19th century interspersed with poetry and finally a bibliography of Inverness newspapers and periodicals of the era.
