In den WarenkorbHardback. Zustand: Very Good. New Edition. 1876. New edition in two volumes. xl, 393pp., colour frontispiece and 3 other colour plates, 1 black and white plate and 31 illustrations within the text; [vi], 8 pages of music, 440pp., a colour frontispiece and 1 other colour plate, and black and white illustrations in the text (the l…ist of illustrations states that specimens of music should appear at page 269 but this probably refers to the music bound in at the start of the book). Top edges gilt. James Logan (1797-1872) was a Scottish author on Gaelic culture, best known for his book The Scottish Gaël. The work was first published in 1831, and was based on walking tours he had made in the Scottish highlands and islands during the previous decade, during which he collected Gaelic antiquities. The work encompasses a wide range of topics, from archaeology to early 19th-century Gaelic literature, and includes chapters on war, arms, dress, hunting, food, poetry and music, and religion. It also contains much valuable commentary on highland mores and traditional lore. The two volumes are uniformly bound in green buckram covered boards with gold titling on the spines (we are uncertain if this was the original binding). The cases of the books are in very good condition with shelf wear and light soiling to the boards and light bumping to the spine ends. The contents are tight and clean apart from a few light marks and some soiling to page 65 in volume 1. There is a little light foxing on the fore edge of the text blocks. The endpapers are slightly foxed and the free endpapers are browned. There is no inscription. PLEASE NOTE: This is a fairly heavy set and extra postage may apply for delivery outside the UK.
