Capital of the mind : how Edinburgh changed the world

Buchan, James2004
Books, Manuscripts
How in the 18th century did a notoriously poor, alcoholic, violent and smelly town, consisting of just two long streets and 40,000 inhabitants, make such an impression on its age and ours? In just 50 years Edinburgh had more impact on our ideas than any town of its size since the Athens of Socrates.
