1914rif. 115189Stirling: Eneas Mackay & Inverness: Wiliam Mackay & Son 1914. First edition in book form. Macdonald was a long-serving excise officer who spent much of his career in the Scottish Highlands. The anecdotes in the chapter "Smuggling Stories and Detections" include "An Artful Abriachan Woman" "Foulis Smuggler and Daughter Baffle Officer" and "'Good Pious Men' as Smugglers". Although Macdonald had a sharp eye for a sensational story he had a stony view of smuggling which he considered "a curse to the individual and the community". Much of this work was first read before the Gaelic Society of Inverness during the late 1880s at a time when whisky smuggling was resurgent in the north of Scotland. It was subsequently printed in the society's paper and later as a series of articles in The Highlander and Celtic Magazine. This is the presumed first issue binding with gilt lettering on the spine front cover and top edge and with photographic plates. Copies are known without the gilt and plates likely a decision to reduce costs in later issues. This copy lacks the rare dust jacket which also exists in variant forms. Octavo. Photographic portrait frontispiece 6 plates including images of bothies and distilling equipment. Original blue cloth spine and front cover lettered in gilt top edge gilt others untrimmed. Spine cocked and sunned spine ends a little bumped occasional faint foxing to leaves pencil underlining in pencil to p. 8: a very good copy. hardcover

1914rif. 182974Stirling: Eneas Mackay & Inverness: Wiliam Mackay & Son 1914. First edition in book form rare with the dust jacket. Macdonald was a long-serving excise officer who spent much of his career in the Scottish Highlands. The anecdotes in the chapter "Smuggling Stories and Detections" include "An Artful Abriachan Woman" "Foulis Smuggler and Daughter Baffle Officer" and "'Good Pious Men' as Smugglers". Although Macdonald had a sharp eye for a sensational story he had a stony view of smuggling which he considered "a curse to the individual and the community". Much of this work was first read before the Gaelic Society of Inverness during the late 1880s at a time when whisky smuggling was resurgent in the north of Scotland. It was subsequently printed in the society's paper and later as a series of articles in The Highlander and Celtic Magazine. This copy is likely from a later issue. Other examples of the first edition can be found with gilt lettering on the spine front cover and top edge and with photographic plates expenses which were presumably dropped for later issues. Variants in the dust jacket also exist; some examples are without the Celtic knot illustration on the front cover which is present here. Octavo. Original blue cloth spine and front cover lettered in dark blue. With dust jacket. Spine faintly sunned a few gentle bumps to edges of covers small lump beneath cloth on front cover; jacket unclipped sunned and faintly soiled spine toned edges chipped and with a few short closed tears one longer at foot of rear panel: a very good copy in like jacket. hardcover
