Andrew R. Bonar. 1865, presumed first edition. [ii], 42pp., 1 full-page and 1 in-text illustration. The author has inscribed and signed the title-page. 5 - The Greyfriars Churchyard: A Lecture Delivered to the Boys of George Heriot's Hospital, on January 26, 1866, by ex-treasurer Greig. No stated date but presumed to be 1866 and first edition. [i], 40pp. The booklets are bound in slightly later dark purple cloth covered boards with 'Old Edinburgh &c.' stamped in gold on the spine. The case of the book is in good to very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling to the boards. The spine has faded to a brown colour and there is also fading down about 1/2" of the spine edge of both boards and along part of the top edge of the rear board. The spine ends are bumped with some damage and loss to the cloth at the bottom of the spine and there is a split of about 1" in the cloth on the bottom of the front spine edge and top 1/2" of the rear spine edge. The contents are tight and clean with some scattered but mostly light foxing. The title-page of the first booklet and last page of the last booklet are slightly browned with light soiling. The title-page to the Lecture on Greyfriar's Churchyard is also soiled. The front endpapers are browned and foxed with some pencil notes by a previous owner and the rear endpapers are lightly foxed. Inscription by the author at the top of the title page of "The Canongate of Edinburgh" thus "James Bonar Esq with kind regards from Andrew R. Bonar". Opposite the title page of the first book, in pencil, is the name "Horatius Bonar". We assume this is the signature of the Scottish minister and hymn writer. SIGNED COPY.

Original boards and yellow endpapers; however, the spine has been replaced with modern black cloth and a black leather label with gilt titles - a neat job which, although a little too much of a contrast, makes the book very sturdy. In the pocket at the back is one map - a folded colour map of MacBrayne's routes, 1882. Contents of the book are in very good condition. "With the author's compliments" in ink inside. Very scarce.

Rubbed, a trifle marked, slight chipping to lettering-piece. Marbled endpapers, armoiral bookplate to FEP, internally immaculate. Presentation copy, inscribed to verso of front blank fly-leaf; 'Mr. Drummond, / of Blairdrummond, / with most respectful compliments from / The Author.' The sole edition of James M'Nayr's (1757/8-1808) accessible guide for travellers to the environs of the Highlands of Scotland, providing reports on the condition of roads and the quality of inn accommodation for a tour to be ideally taken 'from the middle of July till the end of August'. M'Nayr, following soon after the commencement of his suggested route, implores tourists to make an excursion to the Blair Drummond estate, Perthshire; the house, once the residence of renowned Enlightenment polymath Lord Kames, was inherited by his son George Home Drummond - to whom this copy is inscribed. The younger laird completed his father's work in draining the surrounding moss land, utilising Meikle's great wheel installed in 1787 - an undertaking M'Nayr enthusiastically relates. However, the author is not concerned merely with the picturesque, providing an exuberant account of 'New Lanark and Mr. Dales cotton mills'. ESTC T35913. Size: 8vo.
