His most important work is the Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language, which is largely credited with preventing the decline or extinction of the language. The union of the Burgher and Anti-Burgher "New Licht" churches to form the United Secession Church in 1820 was largely due to his exertions.

Book in good condition, as advertised. Well packed, swift shipping. Only disappointment, seller was intractable, refused to engage in any discussion about price. Just sent standard replies, ignoring my reasons, felt corporate. As if an employee who is not authorized to say anything.
