Memoirs of the Affairs of Scotland
Ediburgh: 1706. First Edition. Full calf. short octavo or tall 12mo bound in full brown calf, rebacked, moderate wear and soiling, contents heavily darkened from age and exposure, title page is missing, new free endpapers, one earlier owner's name in ink at top of dedication page with date 1781, another owner signature at top of errata page at back, pp. [16 unnumbered dedication], xxxix, 378, otherwise good. Overall, fair due to missing title page, ager darkening and wear. Because the title page is missing it is unclear that this is the first edition published in 1706. The second and third editions have fewer pages so it is either a later one (that we don't know about) or the first (for which we don't have a good description). Sold waf- with all faults. Fair.
