We've come to the final chapter of 'A Review of the Manks History', David Robertson's addendum to his 1794 publication in which he describes the Island as he saw it when he revisited it - having been based in Douglas as a revenue officer of the Crown - in the summer of 1791. Robertson's gives an overview and draws some conclusions.
As we're reading through the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's Dracula, we've heard of Jonathan Harker's visits to Whitby and London to trace Count Dracula's cargo of boxes, delivered to an empty house in Carfax, next door to Dr John Seward's asylum, to where Jonathan has come to work with his wife, Mina, on tracing the strange events.
