Alexander Peterkin. Rentals of the Ancient Earldom and Bishoprick of Orkney; with some other
explanatory and relative documents. Edinburgh: 1820. 1st Edition. In probably contemporary half
leather binding with marbled boards. The leather has been allowed to dry out and is rough with tearing at
the top spine end and surface loss. Internally a section has been torn from the top of the front free
endpaper, and pages 29-32 have lost the top corners (text not affected). The text is generally clean, but
there is annoying heavy pencil crosses and marks against some of the paragraphs. These are in the
margin and don't affect the text. Everything is present as it should be up to p116 of the Appendix. The
numbering is odd because it restarts at every section! Pages 117-135 which continue the Appendix text
through to the end of the book are missing. P 27 in section 6 is detaching at the bottom. Poor. Half

James Farrer . Notice of Runic Inscriptions discovered during recent excavations in the Orkneys .
Printed for private circulation , 1862. 1st Edition. An extremely scarce original copy of James Farrer's
account of his work on the excavation of Maes-Howe in Stenness, Orkney, together with a few other
barrows. James Farrer (1812-1879) was MP for Durham and an enthusiastic member of the Society of
Antiquaries of Scotland. He 'opened' the mound in July 1861, at which time it had a conical shape, and
removed the contents. Sadly, and typically of the time, there was no systematic analysis and recording.
Farrer discovered a number of runic inscriptions inside the tomb and this work has images of them with
translations. The binding has a gilt design (copied from the runic inscriptions in the Howe) to the front
board and gilt titles to spine. Contents: colour printed frontispiece with tissue-guard; title page; contents
list; preface; text with 5 plates - 2 double size and one colour printed; appendix; readings of the
inscriptions with 7 further plates - 2 double size. The binding is very clean with some light wear at spine
ends and corners. It has been expertly rebacked and so is sound and tight. The endpapers have been
replaced. The frontispiece, which is usually very browned and spotty, has been professionally washed
and the image is now clear. The tissue guard to the frontispiece has been replaced. There is the usual
toning to the paper and spotting to the title. Very good +. Decorative cloth . (10631) £520.00

Thomas Pennant . Introduction to Arctic Zoology (2 of 3 volumes). [Introduction volume written for
2nd edition, plus Vol I. Vol II lacking]. London: Robert Faulder , 1792. 2nd edition . A fair set of the first
2 volumes from the 2nd edition of Arctic Zoology. This includes the Orkney and Shetland sections which
are part of the introductory volume. In original half morocco bindings with the stamp of the Royal College
of Surgeons of England to the spines, and repeated on the title pages. The bindings are sound but the
leather is very scuffed and rubbed. The buckram cloth is also scuffed with a little staining. Both volumes
have an old library label on the front boards. Internally the contents are complete apart from a dedication
in the introduction, but the large folding map has been bound into the wrong volume (the tie for it can still
be seen in the introductory volume). The paper is quite toned, particularly at the top margin where is
there is marking from being in a sooty atmosphere. Contents: Introductory volume - frontispiece; title;
advert; plate list; text pp i - cccxxxiv with plates I - VI; exports lists 2 pp; Index 6pp. Vol I - title with moose
vignette; folding map; text in sections covering Quadrupeds and Birds with half titles pp 1-376 with plates
VII - XIII. The Orkney and Shetland sections draws on work by the Rev George Low. Although Pennant
does not give credit for Low's work in the advertisement section - where he thanks those who contributed
- he does in the Plate list as follows: 'For the drawings from which these Antiquities were engraven, I am
indebted to the Reverend Mr Low, Minister of Birsay in Orkney, who, at my request, made the voyage of
the Orkney and Schetland Isles in 1778. He hath prepared his journal for the press; it is to be hoped, that
the liberality of the public will enable him to give this addition to my labors, which will complete the
acount of the northern part of the British dominions'. Fair. Half morocco. (4114) £350.00

and surface loss to spine ends, spine joints and corners, but the binding is sound and clean. Marbled
endpapers with ornate bookplate of Sebastiani Evans (1830-1909 - English journalist, political activist
