Sit Walter Scott's 'Provincial Antiquities of Scotland' was originally published in ten parts between 1819 and 1826, before being issued in the present bound form in 1826. After a substantial account of the Regalia of Scotland, the book describes the various antiquities to be found in Scotland, including castles, ruins, tombs, standing stones, and other historical sites. Contents include Crighton Castle, Borthwick Castle, Dalkeith, Edinburgh, Holyrood Chapel, Roslyn Castle, Dunbar, Linlithgow, the Bass Rock, and Leith Harbour. The two volumes are uniformly bound in contemporary marbled paper covered boards with dark green leather corners and spines. Both volumes have fairly recently been rebacked and recased and have new grey endpapers, and as a result are now tight and secure. The cases of the books have expected shelf wear to the boards and the corners are lightly bumped with scuffing and a little damage to the leather on the corner tips. The spines have faded to a brown-green colour and there is wear down the spine edge and to the titling. There is a little damage to the bottom corners of the spine and the top 1" or so of both spines has some damage that has been repaired (probably with Japanese paper). The pages are clean apart from some scattered light foxing that also affects a few of the plates, generally around the margins. The frontispiece plates and the title-pages are a bit more heavily foxed with some light soiling to the title-pages. There is no inscription. PLEASE NOTE: This is a heavy set, weighing nearly 3.4 Kg., and extra postage will apply. J.M.W. Turner, A.W. Calcott, A. Nasymth, Rev. J. Thomson, and others (illustrator).…

Good.** "Charles Gore, (18531932),English theologian, Anglican bishop, and an exponent of the liberal tendency within the Anglo-Catholic movement. He demonstrated a willingness to accept historical criticism of the Bible. As warden of Pusey House at Oxford (188493), he made a notable impact on the undergraduates, took an interest in social questions, and was active in the Christian Social Union. His visit to the Oxford Mission in Calcutta and his resultant experience of India profoundly influenced his life and spirituality". (Enc.Brit).The first members of The Oxford Mission to Calcutta "sailed from Liverpool on October 30, 1880. With them went also a young layman, Edwin Berryman, who had been a page-boy at Cuddesdon, and now as a printer offered his services for a time to the Mission, to take charge of the printing-press which Mr. Willis took out with him. While he was with the Mission he proved himself a most valuable helper". (MissiologyOrg). …
