An Account of the Tournament at Eglinton, Revised and Corrected by Several of the Knights; Illustrated by representations of the various scenes, from sketches taken on the spot, by Mr W. Gordon; with a biographical notice of the Eglinton family; to which is prefixed, a sketch of chivalry, and of the most remarkable Scottish tournaments, by James Aikman, Esq.

Notes

An attractively-illustrated account of the Earl of Eglinton's famous folly, a tournament, banquet, and ball in best medieval style. It attracted a hundred thousand spectators and cost him tens of thousands of pounds (partly due to inclement Scottish weather). 'Although the tournament was ridiculed by some critics, its enactment of chivalric metaphor is now seen to have inspired Victorian imagination in art and literature, as well as public and private standards of behaviour' (ODNB).
