PRESENTATION COPY Lives of Eminent Men of Fife

A volume of biographies of eminent Scotsmen including Michael Scot, Arnold Blair, Andrew Wynton, Sir Andrew Wood, Robert Henryson, Cardinal Beaton and Sir David Lindsay. Bound in contemporary half calf over brown marbled boards, pretty gilt and embossed decoration to the spine, red spine label and marbled edges. This is a handsome little book, the leather is rubbed to edges and spine but the marbled boards are bright, some spotting to end papers. There is an inscription to the front end paper "George B Bothwick[?] Esq with the author's Best respects" - presumably in Bruce’s hand. Internally the book is crisp and clean. Overall very good.
