Notes
Paged continuously.
Originally issued in 15 parts from 1847-1854.
Added illustrated tinted lithographic t.p. in v. 1, with illustration caption "Entrance to Roslin Chapel", dated 1847, with earlier imprint of J. Hogarth (London), A. Crichton (Edinburgh), and Hodges & Smith (Dublin); evidently a later state than that originally included in the part and four volume issues, with the title "Scotland delineated" at head of image and the names of the artists contributing to the work drawn on the stone-work on either side of the doorway. An earlier state, lacking the title lettered at top but including the artist's names within the image, is recorded by Abbey as plate 25 of the 4 volume issue.
Illustrated with 90 tinted lithographs after drawings by J.M.W. Turner, Sir W. Allan, Clarkson Stanfield, George Cattermole, W.L. Leitch, Thomas Creswick, David Roberts, J.D. Harding, Joseph Nash, Horatio Macculloch, D.O. Hill, and W.A. Nesfield.
"Edinburgh : Printed by John Hughes, 3 Thistle Street."--T.p. verso, v. 1 and 2.
Also issued in a hand colored state, with the lithographs mounted on card.
