The Ordinance Gazetteer of Scotland: A Survey of Scottish Topography, Statistical, Bibliographical, and Historical, edited by Francis H. Groome, is a comprehensive reference book that provides a detailed survey of Scotland’s topography, statistics, bibliography, and history. This particular listing is for volume III of the six-volume set, published by William Mackenzie in London in 1893.
The book features a blue hardcover with elegant gilt lettering and ornamentation on the cover and spine, adding a touch of sophistication to any bookshelf. While there is some wear to the cover, especially around the corners and spine, it is to be expected considering the age of the book. Additionally, there is minor fading and discoloration due to the passage of time. However, the absence of any writing or markings and the tight binding indicate that the volume is in very good condition.
With its wealth of information, this volume serves as an invaluable resource for anyone interested in exploring Scotland’s geography, statistics, bibliography, and history. It delves into the diverse landscapes, provides statistical data, offers bibliographic references, and presents a historical overview.
