Stewart and J. C. Thompson, Scotland’s Forged Tartans: An Analytical Study of the Vestiarium Scoticum (see Bib# 4103407/Fr# 736). The present work contains a facsimile of a letter from John Sobieski Stuart to the Edinburgh bookseller James Stillie, concerning a possible new edition of the Vestiarium. The work, presumably edited by Stuart, reprints the Quarterly Review article by George Skene and Mackintosh Mackay, together with Stuart’s defense, originally separately published.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/permalink/01JHU_INST/1lu78g9/alma991009382229707861" rel="nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
