Contents clean and bright, plates offset onto the adjacent page. Recently expertly re-bound in period style ( by Dominic Riley ), in quarter calf over marbled paper backed boards, the spine with new title and author labels of red morocco lettered in gilt within floral frames, new plain endpapers. The Dedication to each volume is signed ( printed ) : Thomas Pennant. Very good copies of both books re-bound by Dominic Riley winner of the 2nd Sir Paul Getty Bodleian Bookbinding Prize in 2013. Thomas Pennant ( 1726 - 1798 ) traveller and naturalist, was born in Flintshire, Wales. Aged twelve he was given a copy of Willoughby's ' Ornithology ' which stimulated his early taste for natural history. In 1746 / 7 (?) whilst still an undergraduate he travelled to Cornwall where he met Dr Borlase who encouraged him to study minerals and fossils. In 1754 he began his major tours when he travelled to Ireland, but due to ' the conviviality of the country ' his journal was somewhat imperfect ! In 1771 he published his ' Tour in Scotland ' in which he describes the tour he made1769. The book met with such approbation that Scotland was deluged with visitors from the south. Pennant began the tour from Chester on 26 June 1769. He visited a number of places on the journey to Scotland, including the Farne Islands off the Northumbrian Coast, then traversed most of the mainland of Scotland observing manners, customs and natural history. As with most of his tours he journeyed on horse-back. He made a second tour to Scotland in 1772 when he went to the Hebrides. Later in life he made to tours to Wales and a number of English counties. For more details of Pennant see ODNB. The Supplement to the Tour in Scotland is a scarce book, the ESTC ( on-line 3 / 18 ) locates only 5 copies in the UK - British Library, Cambridge University, National Library of Scotland, Oxford x 2.

A handsome set of the fifth edition of Pennant's two famous tours of Scotland, accompanied here by a first edition of the scarce Supplement. Originally published in 1771 and 1774, the tours "did much to strengthen a growing perception of a common British identity, and served to make remote areas of the British Isles recognisable to southern readers" (British Library). Pennant's Scottish books range in topics from natural history - a particular passion - to topographic descriptions, botanic and geologic observations and "snippets of history and commentary on local customs" (ODNB). Samuel Johnson was inspired by Pennant to undertake his own tour with Boswell in the summer of 1773, and spoke of him as "the best traveller I ever read, he observes more things than anyone else does". A word should also be spared for Pennant's personal draughtsman, Moses Griffith, who made the sketches which form the basis for the engravings in both works and whom Pennant referred to as "My Treasure". It is tempting to think of him as playing a sort of artistic Sancho Panza to Pennant's polymath Don Quixote. Provenance: with the armorial bookplates of John Waldie (1781-1862). After attending the University of Edinburgh, the multi-faceted Waldie, from an old Border gentry family, assumed the administration of Hendersyde Park at Kelso, Roxburghshire. Like Pennant, he travelled widely and kept journals of his tours. An accomplished tenor, Waldie performed at private entertainments with Angelica Catalani, Michael Kelly, and John Braham; he met the composer Rossini; and socialized with such well-known actors as John Philip Kemble and Sarah Siddons. In 1859 he published a catalogue of the extensive and diverse artworks and library at Hendersyde Park, a testament to Waldie's taste and refinement.

Erstausgabe
3 vols., 4to, pp. xiii, [i], 388, [2, ads] + 21 plates; viii, 379, [1, ad] + engraved title-page, 1 map and 43 plates; 34, iv, 481, [1] + engraved title-page, 1 map and 46 plates. Modern half red morocco, red cloth boards, spines divided by raised bands and lettered direct in gilt. Plates offset to facing pages, else just a touch of spotting. An attractive set of Pennant?s account of his two tours of Scotland in 1769 and 1772, comprising the first quarto edition, for which new plates were produced, of the account of the 1769 Tour, and first editions of the 2 volumes delineating the 1772 Tour. Our third volume also contains the separately-paginated 34-page ?Additions? section following the engraved title-page, which ESTC records separately but which has its plates included in the plate-list for the main volume and is often found bound together with it. ?In 1769 Pennant undertook a tour of Scotland, chiefly of the highlands, a region then little known by outsiders yet of interest for its natural history. Motivated by favourable critical reaction to his 1769 Tour. Pennant undertook a second tour of Scotland in 1772. It is best understood as a complement to his earlier Scottish work and the culmination of a longer enterprise designed to describe and understand Scotland. The first volume of Pennant's 1772 Tour influenced Samuel Johnson, then engaged in writing his own Journey, just as the 1769 work had been a prompt to Johnson's Hebridean travels with Boswell?
