The gilt textblock features a grand fore-edge painting of Edinburgh Castle as viewed from the Grassmarket. The image may have been based upon T. H. Shepherds title-page engraving of the same scene from his contemporaneously published 'Modern Athens! Displayed in a Series of Views, or, Edinburgh in the Nineteenth Century'. The binding is full vellum.
