A collection of  topographical poems (on Greenock, Largs, Loch Lomond etc.) .
The poem by William Harriston was first published in 1818 as "The steam-boat miscellany". An expanded version, "The steam-boat traveller's remembrancer" was printed by W. Lang for Harriston himself in 1824, and sold at the author's house in Saracen's Lane. For this new, 1828 edition, the poem has been considerably abridged and altered from the 1824 edition and occasionally expanded too. The jump in pagination before page 19 does not necessarily indicate missing text, as the verse moves directly on from a description of Greenock to an account of the journey from Greenock to Rothesay, as does the1824 edition.
Book label of "J. O Edwards" on the verso of the front wrapper.
