Library Hub records 4 locations holding this edition: BL Glasgow NMS and Aberdeen the last of which implausibly attributes it to Cosmo Innes who would have been 15 at the time of publication. Following this is a small illustrated history of Rosslyn Chapel without a letterpress title-page but apparently as issued - some libraries catalogue it with the drop-head title ‘Description of Rosslyn Chapel & Castle’ from page 1 while the NLS catalogue describes it as A set of engraved plates with a descriptive text. The final work trimmed slightly smaller than the other two is the first edition of a Linlithgow guidebook which reached a 4th edition in 1894.

Redlich in "The Molding of American Banking" 1868 volume 1 page 308. "Isaac Bronson was a highly successful financier of the Jacksonian era who was also one of the period's most original and influential banking theorists. Bronson accumulated his very considerable fortune in New York primarily by judicious personal money-lending operations on long-term bonds and mortgages at a cautious 7 per cent annual return supplemented by successful ventures in land speculation. In addition to wealth he had by the 1830's acquired a weighty reputation for sober financial conservatism and was regarded as an authoritative exponent of sound banking principles. Prominent in the financial community he had long thrown his weight as a sound banking theorist against the "wild-cat" practices of the then rampant state banks." --Venit A. 1945.
