[4], 1-239 pages. Hardcover: H 17.25cm x L 10.75cm. Contemporary half-leather binding - leather spine and marbled paper boards with leather corners. Front board detached; slender splitting along rear hinge but rear board remains fairly firm. Spine retains ark maroon title label with gilt lettering "M'Intosh's Gaelic Proverbs." Some foxing to leaves; some old ink marks on title page. Gaelic on versos with English equivalent translation on opposing recto. Secondary title on page 217 "The Way to Wealth; Or, Poor Richard Improved. By Dr. Franklin. With a Gaelic Translation." (pages 217-239; pseudonymous "Richard Saunders" English text on pages 219-228 followed by Gaelic on pages 229-239 although with this translation uncredited but multiple sources attribute it to Robert Macfarlan). Curious six-line ink inscription on dedication leaf verso "To David Bridges Jnr. Esq. with best Compliments from the Translator" but both Macintosh and Macfarlan had passed at the time of this 1819 edition. Book now presented in a trimmed clear Dura-Lar (polyester film) sheet forming a dj which aids in securing the detached front board and modestly enhances shelf presence.
