About this Item

Second edition, 1807. Anne Grant (1755 ? 1838) was a Scottish poet and author. The letters tell her story of thirty years' residence in the Scottish Highlands. Described by the author as 'sketches of a life spent in the most remote obscurity', it was one of the first works to acquaint the public with the romantic scenery of the Highlands. Three volumes bound in contemporary quarter leather with marbled boards. Titled 'Letters from the Mountains' in gilt with volume numbers 1, 2 and 3 beneath. Another number '218' at base of spine. Contents slightly foxed but otherwise in very good condition. No inscriptions but each volume has an attractive stamp of a stag on the title page. Binding tight but slightly split at spine ends.
