Inhoud:

Blinded by smallpox at the age of six, John Metcalf (1717â1810), popularly known as 'Blind Jack of Knaresborough', nevertheless became one of the eighteenth century's great road builders. Published in 1795, his engaging memoirs recount an eventful life, including his part in the suppression of the Jacobite rebellion.
