Description

Inverness: Kenneth Douglas, James Smith, and Donald Fraser, 1847. 160pp. With a half-title. Original publisher's blind-stamped green cloth, lettered in gilt to upper board. Lightly rubbed and marked, spine dulled. Internally clean and crisp. The first edition – in original state - of a succinct history of, and guide to, Inverness. The latter half of the text, devoted to the primary structures of the Highland city, includes a brief notice on local libraries: 'The principal Circulating Library is kept by Mr Douglas, and consists of upwards of 6000 volumes', and a passage on municipal printers: 'Inverness possesses several excellent printing offices. The principal are the newspaper offices; but there are others which, although they do not command such a variety of types, are, notwithstanding, good jobbing offices. Much inconvenience has occasionally been felt for the want of a copperplate and lithographic press in the town. Work of this description has to be sent to Glasgow, Edinburgh, or Aberdeen'. . First edition. 8vo.
