171614942Edinburgh; Printed by James Watson One of His Majesty's Printers 1716. 1716. Two imprints in two volumes the Bible divided across both volumes and signed continuously the Psalms bound to end of volume two and signed independently. Duodecimo n. p. sig. A-Y12 Z1-2; Z3-12 2A-2S12 2T10 A-C12. The New Testament has a letterpress title-page. This copy lacks the two engraved title-pages to the Old and New Testaments reported by some institutional cataloguers otherwise complete. We locate both one volume and two volume copies in institutional libraries and copies with and without the Psalms. Both volumes bound in near-uniform black full morocco Scottish herringbone bindings. Volume one on four raised bands star and thistle ornaments within triple fillets to compartments; central herringbone panel in star thistle and wheel design within fleur-de-lis and pyramid roll borders to boards; pyramid rolls to turn-ins; marbled end-papers; all edges gilt; olive-green silk place-marker mounted to headband. Volume two on four raised bands; gilt floral tooling within triple fillets to compartments; thistle star and wheel herringbone panel surrounded by thistles stars and fleur-de-lis within fillet and pyramid roll border; floral rolls to board edges and turn-ins; marbled end-papers. Elaborate calligraphic bookplate in black green and red ink of Sarah McKie 'written at Edinburgh the XIIIth August 1735' to front free end-paper of volume one; pencil ownership inscription of one 'J. S. Muir 1888' to verso. Neat ownership inscription of one 'Stewart' dated December 5 1721 to front free end-paper of volume two. Later pencil annotation to foot of volume one T8v. Corners bumped slight rubbing to joints of raised bands on volume one shelf-wear to edges of boards but bindings otherwise bright neat and very solid. A few spots of occasional toning to contents of both volumes text-blocks very occasionally frayed and nicked to edges; one end-leaf of volume one repaired sympathetically with like paper; slight loss to corner of C1 affecting catchword only loss to corner of A2 A5 of Psalms affecting text; spots of ink to N1 of Bible ink stains to title-page B1v B2r of Psalms; 2R gathering of Bible and B C gatherings of Psalms cut close to fore-edge affecting text. Contents used but serviceable bindings both well-preserved examples. A curious pair of volumes bound in very similar herringbone style perhaps even from the same workshop but with no tools in common. The division of the volumes midway through the Psalms at Z2 is such an unusual choice which appears to differ from institutional copies in two volumes that this bookseller concludes they must be intended as a pair. Herringbone bindings were the dominant form of decorative binding in early eighteenth-century Scotland evolving from late-seventeenth century panel bindings. The thistle and pyramid tools on display here are peculiarly Scottish features. An excellent example of fine Scottish binding of the early eighteenth-century. ESTC T91732; T91831.

14009Without place or date but with reference to 'George Salmond Writer Glasgow'. Early nineteenth-century. 2pp. 4to. On leaf untidily torn from an album resulting in a ragged edge with minor loss of text a few parts of words. On aged and chipped paper. The document is headed 'Forgery of the Commercial Bank of Scotlands Guinea Note' and begins: As a few off these Forged Notes have made their appearance in Glasgow <th>e following directions are given to enable the public to distinguish the forged from the genuine Notes.' A detailed description follows with small illustrations given of the shapes of the letter 'B' in forgery and genuine note with other illustrations of a thistle both with and 'without prickles'. The document ends: 'It is requested that if any of these forged Notes are presented the same and those offering them may be detained and proceeded with according to the Law and that notice may be immediately sent to George Salmond Writer Glasgow who will pay the expenses and liberally remunerate those giving any information which may be of Service or may lead to Conviction of offenders.' No other copy traced either on COPAC or WorldCat. The Scottish guinea note was introduced in 1758 and discontinued in 1828. The book 'Rambling Recollections of Old Glasgow' by 'Nestor' contains a reference to 'Mr. George Salmond long Procurator-Fiscal at Glasgow' who 'kept an album or rather nigrum containing a collection of forged notes with notices of the results to the persons implicated in their forgery or issue. There seldom was a Circuit in Glasgow where there were not several men or women sentenced to death for such crimes and several expiated their offences on the scaffold'. Salmond was Procurator-Fiscal by 1826 so this item would appear to date from before then. Without place or date, but with reference to 'George Salmond, Writer, Glasgow'. Early nineteenth-century. unknown

005679[Droit - Ecosse], Recueil des pièces présentées à sa Majesté très-chrétienne, à la Tournelle du Parlement de Paris, & à M. de Sartine, Lieutenant Général de Police ; En conséquence de deux Jugemens portés par la Cour de Session en Ecosse ; le premier daté du 27 Juillet, & le second du 11 Août présente année 1763 [etc.]. Paris, Michel Lambert, 1763. In-4, [2]-51p. Intéressant document autour d'une des plus importantes affaires du XVIIIe siècle. La sour du dernier duc de Douglas (1694-1761), Lady Jane Douglas (1698-1753) se serait mariée en secret au chevalier John Stewart de Grandtully (1687-1764), sympathisant jacobite réfugié en France. En 1748, Jane informe son frère de la naissance de jumeaux, Archibald et Sholto. Ce dernier mourra comme sa mère en 1753. Le duc refusa de reconnaître cette naissance et coupa les vivres à sa sour. Suite à son mariage avec Margaret Douglas de Mains, le duc accepta de reconnaître la naissance de son neveu. Après la mort du duc, les Hamilton contestèrent l'héritage. Bien que la cour statuât contre le neveu en 1767, la Chambre des Lords inversa la décision, sans appel possible. Les deux jugements reproduits ici indiquent que toute la procédure faite en France n'a aucune valeur en Ecosse. Une des conséquences est que les témoins des Hamilton ne pourraient pas répondre en Ecosse car, selon l'usage écossais, un témoin ne peut comparaître qu'une seule fois. Reliure bradel demi-parchemin (début XXe), titre manuscrit. Intéressant document.
