Edinburgh, John, Anderson Jun., 1832

However it does not contain Carlop Green (which is in the second work in the volume, described above), but is mainly taken up with a complete long poem ‘Linton Green, or the Third Market-Day in June 1685, OS’. At the end of this text is printed ‘END OF VOLUME FORTH’.

This volume collates;- title page, a&b 1-4, A-U 1-4, X1-2.

At the back of the volume are bound some extracts from journals.

The works are clearly legible throughout, but some pages are creased and spotted.

The volume is ex-library, with a small stamp on the front endpaper, over-stamped ’Cancelled’ and the same two stamps on one other page.

Bound with paper covered boards and a cloth spine, the binding worn and marked, but solid. A paper label on the spine with the handwritten inscription ‘Brown of (?) Vl. 4,5.’
