A TOUR IN SUTHERLANDSHIRE; WITH EXTRACTS FROM THE FIELD-BOOKS OF A SPORTSMAN AND NATURALIST. By Charles St. John, Esq.
1849 1st edition. Two volumes. Small 8vo (130 x 206mm). Ppxvi,296;viii,288. 10 engraved plates after the author's own sketches. Green blind-stamped cloth, spine titled in gilt & with gilt hooded falcon on upper board. End-papers of volume one are printed with the advertisements of Murray's Home & Colonial Library.
"The present volume consists of extracts from a Journal, written during a wandering excursion through Sutherlandshire, one the most interesting counties in Scotland, and one of the least known; of a series of field-notes for each month in the year, written during my residence in the pleasant land of Moray; and of a few miscellaneous chapters of interest to the sportsman. Such as they are, I offer them to the public, trusting that they will receive them as the off-hand thoughts and observations of one who is more accustomed to the hillside than to the study - to the gun than to the pen."
