...including the details of the erection and peculiar structure of that edifice. To which is prefixed a Historical View of the Institution and Progress of Northern Light-Houses. Edinburgh: Archibald Constable and Co., 1824. First edition, royal 4to, 23 engraved plates including the frontispiece after Turner and secondary title vignette engraved after Miss Stevenson on India paper, engineering plates, map, and a double-page view, 19th century half calf neatly rebacked, red morocco gilt label, endpapers renewed, some foxing to plates as is usual, slight dampstain to fore-edges of many plates and to gutter of frontispieceFootnote: Note: Ruff 179; Todd & Bowden 176A. The book is described in these bibliographies of Walter Scott due to the presence of his poem "Pharos Loquitor" below Miss Stevenson's fine vignette on the secondary title. It is a facsimile of the six lines of verse he wrote in a visitors' album at a lighthouse in 1814, during his celebrated voyage round Scotland with Stevenson and the lighthouse commissioners. "Some" copies, as here, have the plate on India paper. Both bibliographies note that the total edition was of only 250 copies. The great civil engineer, Robert Stevenson, practically inaugurated the Scottish lighthouse system, and the Bell Rock lighthouse is one of his finest and most remarkable achievements.

Leigh Taylor [d.1891], bequeathed to him by his aunt Joanna Holdsworth [d.1869]; bequeathed by Samuel Leigh Taylor to his nephew, Russell Leigh Taylor; and thence by descentNote: One of the most important German incunables, The Nuremberg Chronicle (as this work is commonly known) is the most richly illustrated printed book produced in the fifteenth century. The text is a universal history of the Christian world from the beginning of times to the early 1490s, written in Latin by the Nuremberg physician and humanist Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) on commission from the Nuremberg merchants, Sebald Schreyer (1446-1520) and Sebastian Kammermeister (1446-1503). Drawn by the author from multiple medieval and Renaissance sources, such as Bede, Vincent of Beauvais, Martin of Tropau, Bartolomeo Platina, Flavius Blondus, and Philippus de Bergamo, the Chronicle also provides detailed information on the history and topography of European countries and towns. The narrative is divided into 11 parts, the so-called "world ages", and is profusely illustrated with images of biblical and historical events, alongside topographical views of towns and countries in Europe and the Middle East, including Jerusalem (and its destruction) and Byzantium.
