About This Item
Edinburgh: John Anderson & William Hunter, 1831. First printing. Hard Cover. All three engravings present. Boards show rubbing and wear and head of spine slightly damaged. Occasional interior foxing, but basically clean and tight. A misleading title, for it is an extensive historical account of Scotland from prehistoric times through the Roman conquest. The 5th and 6th Caledonian campaigns from Tacitus are included in an appendix. Also has subscriber list and publishers' advertisments. Uncommon.
