Death & obituary of Sir Walter Scott...

Item # 714634
October 01, 1832
GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE, October, 1832  Near the back of the issue is the obituary for Sir Walter Scott taking nearly 24 pages. 
Although lengthy and informative, the first line of the obituary may describe him best: "Sept. 21. At Abbotsford, Co. Roxburgh, aged 61. Sir Walter Scott, Bart. the proudest name in the modern annals of literature."  There is also a half page engraving: "Dryburgh Abbey, The Burial Place Of Sir Walter Scott".
Included are the plates called for save for the map of Western China.
Complete in 96 pages, 5 by 8 inches, full title/index page which is nearly close-trimmed at the right (but no loss of text), very nice condition.
