But his interest had been, uronsed early in life by Martin's account of the Hebrides: the pertinacious Boswell had urged him to come North, and there was that curious" spirit within him which made a new system of life irresistible attraction. "Our business is. with life, and manners," he wrote, and) this was the key-trote of the tour and his Journey is mainly occupied with observations on the people of the Hebrides.
