$225.00
(Three Volume Set) Celtic Scotland: A History of Ancient Alban by William F. Skene, published in 1876. Divided into three parts: History and Ethnology, Church and Culture, and Land and People. The authors intention was ‘to ascertain the true facts of the early civic history’ of Scotland, given that the works of medieval Scots historians could not be relied upon for a factual narrative. The three volumes are organised by topic. After an introductory chapter, Volume 1 considers the history and ethnology of early Britain, the advance of the Romans northward, and the four early Scottish kingdoms, ending in the thirteenth century. Hardcover in green with gilt lettering on and light shelfwear to corners and ends.
