Quarto. 8pp. A blue initial "G" leads off Stevenson's fond memories of the Scottish capital and his presidency of the Society. The colophon claims that Edwin Grabhorn was the typographer for the book, but Heller and Magee contradict this in their bibliography. Printed on Japanese vellum and bound in vellum proper. Covers mildly foxed and soiled, spine label worn at ends, else very good.
