Cox III, pp. 21-22. Powell, "The Tours of Thomas Pennant," The Library (Fourth Series), Vol. XIX, No. 2 (September, 1938), pp 131-39. Pennant's tour of Scotland preceded Dr. Johnson's by four years. He is often considered the leading British zoologist, after John Ray and before Charles Darwin. But he was also an inveterate traveler who, In 1769, undertook this tour, chiefly of the highlands, then little known by outsiders yet of interest for its natural history, as well for its antiquities, historical and literary associations, and scenery. A Tour in Scotland, 1769, first published in 1771, "is of interest for its descriptions and for its method: Pennant circulated â Queries, addressed to the Gentlemen and Clergy of North-Britain' [Scotland] with standard questions about natural history and the past and present state of the parish in order to allow locals to give â a fuller and more satisfactory Account of their Country, than it is the Power of a Stranger and transient Visitant to give.' In that regard, Pennant has much in common with the earlier use of circulated queries by natural philosophers such as Robert Boyle and, in Scotland, by the natural historian and geographer Sir Robert Sibbald, and Pennant importantly prefigures the parish-based assessment of Scotland published by Sir John Sinclair in the 1790s."

Contents clean and bright, plates offset onto the adjacent page. Recently expertly re-bound in period style ( by Dominic Riley ), in quarter calf over marbled paper backed boards, the spine with new title and author labels of red morocco lettered in gilt within floral frames, new plain endpapers. The Dedication to each volume is signed ( printed ) : Thomas Pennant. Very good copies of both books re-bound by Dominic Riley winner of the 2nd Sir Paul Getty Bodleian Bookbinding Prize in 2013. Thomas Pennant ( 1726 - 1798 ) traveller and naturalist, was born in Flintshire, Wales. Aged twelve he was given a copy of Willoughby's ' Ornithology ' which stimulated his early taste for natural history. In 1746 / 7 (?) whilst still an undergraduate he travelled to Cornwall where he met Dr Borlase who encouraged him to study minerals and fossils. In 1754 he began his major tours when he travelled to Ireland, but due to ' the conviviality of the country ' his journal was somewhat imperfect ! In 1771 he published his ' Tour in Scotland ' in which he describes the tour he made1769. The book met with such approbation that Scotland was deluged with visitors from the south. Pennant began the tour from Chester on 26 June 1769. He visited a number of places on the journey to Scotland, including the Farne Islands off the Northumbrian Coast, then traversed most of the mainland of Scotland observing manners, customs and natural history. As with most of his tours he journeyed on horse-back. He made a second tour to Scotland in 1772 when he went to the Hebrides. Later in life he made to tours to Wales and a number of English counties. For more details of Pennant see ODNB. The Supplement to the Tour in Scotland is a scarce book, the ESTC ( on-line 3 / 18 ) locates only 5 copies in the UK - British Library, Cambridge University, National Library of Scotland, Oxford x 2.

A handsome set of the fifth edition of Pennant's two famous tours of Scotland, accompanied here by a first edition of the scarce Supplement. Originally published in 1771 and 1774, the tours "did much to strengthen a growing perception of a common British identity, and served to make remote areas of the British Isles recognisable to southern readers" (British Library). Pennant's Scottish books range in topics from natural history - a particular passion - to topographic descriptions, botanic and geologic observations and "snippets of history and commentary on local customs" (ODNB). Samuel Johnson was inspired by Pennant to undertake his own tour with Boswell in the summer of 1773, and spoke of him as "the best traveller I ever read, he observes more things than anyone else does". A word should also be spared for Pennant's personal draughtsman, Moses Griffith, who made the sketches which form the basis for the engravings in both works and whom Pennant referred to as "My Treasure". It is tempting to think of him as playing a sort of artistic Sancho Panza to Pennant's polymath Don Quixote. Provenance: with the armorial bookplates of John Waldie (1781-1862). After attending the University of Edinburgh, the multi-faceted Waldie, from an old Border gentry family, assumed the administration of Hendersyde Park at Kelso, Roxburghshire. Like Pennant, he travelled widely and kept journals of his tours. An accomplished tenor, Waldie performed at private entertainments with Angelica Catalani, Michael Kelly, and John Braham; he met the composer Rossini; and socialized with such well-known actors as John Philip Kemble and Sarah Siddons. In 1859 he published a catalogue of the extensive and diverse artworks and library at Hendersyde Park, a testament to Waldie's taste and refinement.

Thomas Pennant, 1726-1798, was a Welsh naturalist, traveler, zoologist, and antiquarian. Pennant is most known for his works on British Zoology and the History of Quadrupeds. For his contributions to natural science he was admitted to the Royal Society. His travel books predated Samuel Johnson's and influenced his writing. Significantly, Pennant's travels helped popularize Scotland to British travelers and provide a valuable insight into the land during this period. "Pennant's travels and natural history are distinguished by his personal energy, a keen observational sense, and by methodological organization and attention to facts. In such ways, and in his friendship and widespread correspondence with others of like interests throughout Britain and Europe, he may be said to exemplify those gentleman scholars of nature in the later eighteenth century whose interests in natural knowledge aimed at national improvement through intellectual enquiry." - DNB. In 1771 Pennant published his 'Tour in Scotland', describing the journey made by him in 1769. He says he had 'the hardihood to venture on a journey to the remotest part of North Britain,' of which he brought home an account so favourable that 'it has ever since been inondee with southern visitors'. Starting from Chester on 26 June 1769, Pennant visited the Fern Islands off the Northumbrian coast, and noted many species of sea-fowl that resorted thither. He made nearly the circuit of the mainland of Scotland, observing manners and customs and natural history. On this occasion, as on all subsequent tours, he journeyed on horseback, and kept an elaborate journal. The success of the 'Tour in Scotland' led to his undertaking a second Scottish journey, beginning on 18 May 1772. He visited the English lakes, proceeded to the Hebrides, and was presented with the freedom of Edinburgh. Moses Griffith [q. v.], the Welsh artist, attended him on this journey (as also on his later tours), making sketches and drawings, afterwards reproduced in Pennant's published 'Tours.' Pennant made tours in various parts of England, including Northamptonshire (1774), Warwickshire (1776), Kent (1777), Cornwall (1787). As the outcome of several journeys in Wales he published his 'Tour in Wales,' the first volume appearing in 1778." - Warwick William Wroth, DNB, v.44, p. 320-322.
