Sobre este artículo
Edinburgh: Printed for the Author: Sold by George Stewart, at the Book and Angel, 1716 A very good copy of a scarce detailed account of the Scottish Peerage in the early eighteenth century. George Crawfurd was a Scottish genealogist and historian and this was his second work. This copy is in a newer, probably 20th century binding, copying contemporary binding style. With raised bands and title label to spine and a decorative border to the boards. It is in near fine condition with very slight wear to the top of the spine. Contents: new endpapers and new initial blank; title page in red and black; Preface pp iii-vii; list of subscribers pp i-iv; text pp 1-502; index pp i-iii; final blank. The pagination is somewhat odd: pages 46 and 462 both have additional starred pages - 46* and 46**; 462* and 462**; there is no 49/50 but the text is continuous; there are 2 x pp 53 and 181; and the numbering runs 286, 283, 385, 286, 291 - with continuous text. There are 2 small scholarly ink annotations; very small repaired bottom margin tears to pp 93 and 97; a minute hole in pp 11 and 237. The stitching is visible in the Preface at one point but the binding is sound. The paper tends to brown (sometimes quite dark) toning with some lighter sections. There is the occasional light mark.
