1888. First edition. xii, 331pp., frontispiece portrait and 2 other plates in volume 1; vii, [i], 299pp., a frontispiece portrait and 3 plates in volume 2. Duncan McLaren (1800-1886) was a Scottish Liberal Party politician and political writer. He served as a member of the burgh council of Edinburgh, then as Lord Provost, and later as a Member of Parliament (MP) for the Edinburgh constituency. This is a comprehensive account of his life and work, in two volumes. The books are uniformly bound in the original maroon cloth covered bevelled boards with gold titling on the spines and a black coat of arms of the City of Edinburgh on the front boards. The cases of the books are in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling on the boards and bumping to the spine ends. The spines are faded and there is some fading along the top 1" of the front board of volume 1 and top 1" of the rear board of volume 2. There is a little staining near the top and fore edges of the rear board of volume 2. The contents are tight and clean with offsetting to the frontispiece tissue-guards in both volumes. Volume 1 has the following inscription on the second front free endpaper from the subject's son by his second marriage: "Jessie G. Struthers, with best wishes from Duncan McLaren - Christmas 1888".
