Description:
A lengthy slagging match by Adair, insulting Slezer at many points, he calls Slezer 'ane illiterat stranger [who] cannot pretend to understand' the antiquities and natural history of Scotland. To amaze the country 'he hath gathered a big volume of scraps from many hands, most of them as unlearned as himself'. On the subject of Adair's sea voyages, he claims that Slezer understands 'no more of shiping or sea affairs than a sheepherd'. (P.G. Vasey, 'John Adair', 1998).
