Memorial for the Bible Societies in Scotland containing remarks on the: Complaint of His Majesty's Printers against the Marquis of Huntly and others with an Appendix Consisting of Various Papers. Edinburgh, Printed for The Edinburgh Bible Society, 1826. A fundamentally important case concerning the attempt of the King's Printers to protect their monopoly of Bible printing in Scotland. The appendix in this copy has been enlarged from that found in other versions and two very useful Bibliographies (of Bibles printed, available and in use) have been added. A tipped-in manuscript note explains that "This is the most rare of the editions...having been printed for the use of the Counsel...". With the bookplate of John Lee, Principal of Edinburgh University and one of the defendants in the case. A pristine copy of a most important work.
