STODDART, John (1773-1856) - [Scottish Topography] [Grangerised] [Hand-Colored] Remarks on Local Scenery and Manners in Scotland During the Years 1799 and 1800

London, William Miller, Old Bond Street, 1801. First Edition. Half-Morocco. An extra-illustrated copy of this uncommon treatise on the manners, customs, and scenery of Scotland. Complete in two royal octavo volumes: xxiv,310; viii,341,[3]pp, with engraved title-page vignettes by W. Poole, double-page map of Scotland colored in outline, 32 hand-colored aquatints of castles, cathedrals, and landmarks by Merigot after various artists; extra-illustrated with 12 full-page copperplate engravings, mounted and inserted at appropriate places in the text. Slightly later half green morocco over marbled boards, spines in five compartments divided by wide gilt-decorated raised bands, titled direct in gilt, marbled end papers and edges. An excellent wide-margined example, tightly bound and generally clean throughout (finger smudges to some plate margins and very occasional light spotting to pages of volume one). Abbey (Scenery) 483. In the autumn of 1800, on his return from Scotland, Stoddart lodged in the Lake District with Wordsworth, who drew upon passages from Stoddart's book for his magnum opus, The Prelude. (Stoddart reviewed Lyrical Ballads in the British Critic, in 1801.) From 1810 to 1816, Stoddart wrote for The Times, then left to started his own newspaper, The New Times. In 1826, he quit journalism to serve as chief justice of the vice-admiralty court in Malta. He was knighted that same year. N. B.
