A comprehensive guide to the city of Edinburgh by Alexander Kincaid the younger, son of the important Scottish Enlightenment publisher. Kincaid the younger did not show the aptitude necessary to take on his father's significant printing business, which went to the adopted apprentice William Creech instead, but he did operate within the Edinburgh book trade for some years as a writer, bookseller, and printer's ink-maker.
