A propos de cet article

Edinburgh: Printed by James Ballantyne for Archibald Constable and Co., [et al.], 1804. 8vo. viii, 294 pages. Contemporary full mottled calf with black leather spine label, gilt rules and decorations on spine, and gilt borders on covers. [21.7 cm.] A respectable ex-library copy with only light internal markings. Tasteful bookplate of Sondley Reference Library on front pastedown, embossed stamp on title and one other leaf, and small number stamp on verso of title and in margin of one other page. Front hinge cracked, but holding well. Else very good. Light wear to leather with minor loss to head of spine and erosion of decoration in lowest compartment of spine. Some light scattered foxing.

Furthermore, "fictions, invented by Crawfurd [sic] himself, are profusely intermixed; and even the ill-digested form of the genuine narrative is a pretext for the transposition and alteration of facts." --Laing's preface, p. vii.
