This edition is undated, but is apparently an early or first impression of the first revision of 1858: "It appeared to the Publishers.that after the lapse of fifteen years, during which literature and literary information had so greatly increased, a revision of the work had become necessary. They accordingly placed it, for this purpose, under the charge of Mr Robert carruthers, of Inverness; and it is now presented to the public in a thoroughly revised, and, as they believe, considerably improved form, with such an extension as was requisite towards the completion of the original plan" (from the Preface to v.1).

Illustrated throughout, bound in a very attractive dark green calf leather, smart red spine labels and gilt detail. Robert Chambers (1802 1871), Scottish author and publisher, was born in Peebles. Among the other numerous works of his are the Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen (4 vols., Glasgow, 18321835), the Cyclopaedia of English Literature (1844), the Life and Works of Robert Burns (4 vols., 1851), Ancient Sea Margins (1848), the Domestic Annals of Scotland (18591861) and the Book of Days (2 vols., 18621864). The Cyclopaedia of English Literature contains a series of admirably selected extracts from the best authors of every period, "set in a biographical and critical history of the literature itself." For the Life of Burns he made diligent and laborious original investigations, gathering many hitherto unrecorded facts from the poet's sister, Mrs Begg, to whose benefit the whole profits of the work were generously devoted. In half calf bindings with cloth covered boards. Externally, very smart with mild wear to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean. Very Good Indeed. book.
