Notes

A scarce pocket atlas of Scotland, recorded in just 3 locations in Library Hub: NLS, BL and Durham. The maps are paginated (nearly) uniformly with the letterpress and hand-coloured in outline, with a double-page reference map of the whole country preceding them.
The publisher's ads to the rear advertise that Hill has taken on the remaining stock of Sinclair's Statistical Account of Scotland, among other things.
