Lizars did the fine engravings for this book; of which there are two folding maps, one plan, ten plates, and an extra engraved title page. The gilt design to the front board (of the Fountain of Ninevah) and the gilt ornamented spine, are both bright, although the boards generally are bumped and shown light wear and soiling. The hinges are a bit tender but tight. The large folding sectional map of Scotland has a large closed tear, now expertly repaired. Occasional marginal spotting to contents; otherwise clean and tight. A good, to good plus, copy. Hardcover.
