About this Item

lxv+203 pages with frontispiece, tables and index. Quarto (11 1/2" x 9") bound in half leather with raised spine bands and lettering in gilt over marbled boards. First edition limited to 350 copies, of which this is number 265. Mining has been carried on in Scotland from a very early period. Gold and silver have both been found at various periods and widely spread over the country. Archaeologists found native metal from prehistoric times. The first historical notice of gold was a grant by David I, to the Abbey of Dunfermline in 1153. Gilbert of Moravia discovered gold at Duriness in 1245. The Scottish Parliament granted the Crown in 1424 all the gold mines in Scotland and all silver mines in which three halfpennies of silver could be found out of a pound lead. During the reign of James IV the gold mines in Crawfurd Moor were first discovered. This work gathers all the pertinent documents which were available to the author and are presented here for future historians to have access. Condition: Some shelf wear, points rubbed else a very good copy.
