Item description from seller

GREAT PROVENANCE. A very good copy of the first edition of this rare Gaelic-English dictionary, inscribed on title page by General the Lord Adam Gordon in 1789, the year he was appointed Commander-in-Chief, Scotland. A very good copy in modern, period-style half brown calf over marbled boards, spine with raised bands, red morocco label, and gilt floral tooling within gilt-ruled compartments (minor wear to binding; text has some marginal dampstaining and staining to edges; the recipient's name has been clipped from the title page with no loss of printed text; slight traces of old worming to a few leaves; one small ex-library stamp). Gordon appears in the list of subscribers in volume I.
