'at last we have a modern and reliable edition [of A Tour thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain]...this edition should also provide the raw material for a major advance in our understanding of Defoe's oeuvre in general and his more specific contribution to the geographical culture of the early eighteenth century.'- Robert Mayhew, Journal of Historical Geography'...excellent scholarly introductions... put the works in the context of Defoe's biography and the broader cultural and political issues of the time'- John Harries, Scottish Studies Review
