Originally issued in 24 parts and sold by subscription, this is the first large-scale illustrated work on the Scottish clans.

The work was dedicated to Queen Victoria, and it was quite popular, prompting a reissue in 1857.

Book First Edition
FIRST EDITION, LARGE PAPER COPY. 2 vols. Folio (52 x 35 cm). Printed title and pp.xii+4 (Introduction); title, pp.xiv, including list of Subscribers (Queen Victoria, Prince Albert.and Charles Dickens). Fine contemporary binding of full richly gilt decorated red morocco, all edges gilt. Complete with 2 illuminated title pages heightened in gold, dedication heightened in gold and 72 hand-coloured lithographs heightened with gum arabic, each with either four or six pages of descriptive text. Ex libris Hon. John Wayland Leslie (armorial bookplates) and James Gibb (inscription in black ink to front endpapers, dated Quebec 1862. Sometime skilfully rebacked retaining the original spines, three plates with neatly repaired tears at inner margins not affecting the images, occasional light spotting , contents generally fresh and clean, overall a particularly handsome copy. An exceptional copy, offering a romanticised view of the Highland Clans. Published in 1845 to coincide with the centenary of the Jacobite Rebellion, James Logan opens this illustrated anthology on the Scottish tribes with the accolade: 'There is no more extraordinary spectacle in Europe than the Gaël of Scotland' (Introduction, vol. I). The illustrative plates, engraved after the works of Robert McIan, himself a member of the depicted Clan the MacDonalds of Glencoe, show each Clan member in their respective tartan, situated in the wild countryside of the Scottish Highlands. Dramatic in its depiction of scenery and with notably beautiful colouring to the array of striking tartans. Possibly these books helped inspire Prince Albert to buy Balmoral Castle in 1852, after the previous owner, Sir Robert Gordon died in 1847, choking to death on a fish bone. ( Bobins II, 685; Colas 1892; Tooley 322).
