A richly illustrated volume of Scottish landscapes compiled by minister of the Episcopal Church of Scotland John Parker Lawson (died 1852). The drawings within, commissioned by original publisher Joseph Hogarth, were provided by many of Britain's pre-eminent landscape artists, among them Joseph Nash and J.D. Harding. Lawson spent his time in Edinburgh writing for booksellers, developing a talent for historical writing, particularly on Episcopal, Catholic and Scottish histories, which was applied diligently in the captions to this volume.

Despite the publisher's note on the title, no illustrations by J.M.W. Turner were ever included in this volume.
