Item description from seller

Condition Very Good: Original two-tone boards show general age-related wear, with moderate bumping to corners and edges. Spine remains bright, with the publisher’s paper label fully intact. Marks and handling wear present across the boards, but the binding remains square and firm. Internally, pages display expected age-related browning and occasional creasing, yet remain complete and intact throughout. Engraved plates and vignette present and in good order. A notably well-preserved and highly presentable copy for its age. Description First edition, published by John Monk in 1771 (MDCCLXXI), in original boards with the publisher’s paper label intact, increasingly uncommon survival state for 18th-century books, which are often found rebound. The inclusion of 18 full-page engraved plates and a text vignette further enhances desirability, particularly when complete as here. Early travel works of this period, especially those retaining original bindings, are scarce in the trade, and copies in such well-preserved condition are particularly sought after. A highly attractive example for collectors of 18th-century British travel literature and antiquarian books in original state. A Tour in Scotland presents an 18th-century account of travel through Scotland, combining descriptive observations with illustrative engravings that capture landscapes, architecture, and notable sites. The work reflects contemporary perspectives on the region, offering insight into its geography, culture, and points of interest during the period. Both informative and visually engaging, it stands as a representative example of early travel literature.
