Stock code: 29613
Price: £260.00
2 vols., [of 4], 8vo., First Edition, on laid paper; ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPPERS, uncut, covers very lightly dust-soiled else both very good, bright, crisp copies, now housed in custom-made solander case lettered in gilt.
As usual, the collation is variable. The tracts included here are: The History of the Feuds and Conflicts among the Clans (first printed 1764); Authentic Narrative of the Massacre of Glencoe (first printed 1693); The Murder of James I (MS written in 1440); Buchan's Description of St. Kilda (first printed 1773); Supplement to the History of the Feuds and Conflicts among the Clans (MS writen about 1656). Each tract has its own printed title and pagination; thus many volumes were broken for the tracts to be sold individually; copies in the original wrappers are rare. EXTREMELY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.
