Beschreibung

1823. Third edition. viii, 430pp. This is a series of short stories of Scottish rural life, purported to be by the late 'Arthur Austin'. We believe this to be a pseudonym of John Wilson (1785-1854), who also wrote under the name of Christopher North and is probably best known as the author of 'Noctes Ambrosianae'. The book is bound in contemporary full leather boards with gold titling and decoration with five raised bands on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with some expected scuffing to the leather on the boards and spine. The corners are lightly bumped. The contents are tight and clean with foxing on the endpapers and some scattered light foxing elsewhere within the book, including a few small marks on the titrle page. A name has been written on the back of the front free endpaper and there is a brief inscription on the top edge of the title page. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers VIScotLit002
