Beschreibung

A fantastic and very scarce second edition of Laing's work. Volume IV only. Malcolm Laing (1762 - 1818), was a country gentleman in Orkney. He completed Henry's History of Great Britain, and wrote a History of Scotland from the Union of the Crowns to the Union of the Kingdoms (1802). He was an assailant of the authenticity of the Ossianic poems, and wrote a dissertation on the Participation of Mary Queen of Scots in the Murder of Darnley. He did much to improve the agriculture of Orkney. He was MP for Orkney and Shetland from 1807 to 1812. In a full tree calf binding. There is some mild wear to the extremities including a section of the spine label missing, see pictures. The binding is tight and firm and the covers are both firmly attached. Internally the book is very bright with a few spots on some of the first and last few pages only. Good Only. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LTH8-B-11
