Title from opening words of text.
`History of the origin and progress of the Statistical Account of Scotland', which is dated and signed (p. 14) `Edinburgh, 1st January 1798. John Sinclair.', is preceded by a letter (3, [1] p.) dated and signed `London, May 15. 1798. John Sinclair.' in which he refers to the `History' as `the annexed narration'.
Another issue of the `History', with different pagination and without the prefatory letter, occurs in vol. XX of the Statistical Account.
Leaves c1-4 are the same printing as in the Statistical Account vol. XX and so are here incorrectly paginated xxv-xxxii.
