With definitions of character in different ranks of life'. 'Embellished with twenty-two highly-finished plates.' James Peller Malcolm (1767–1815) was an American-English topographer and engraver. The son of a merchant in Philadelphia, he was born there in August 1767. Acting on the advice of Mr. Bembridge, a relative and fellow-student of Benjamin West, he went to London, and pursued artistic studies for two years in the Royal Academy. Finding that history painting and landscape painting were not much in demand, he took to engraving and the compilation of books on topographical and historical subjects, such as this. He was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. He died in Gee Street, Clarendon Square, London, on 5 April 1815, leaving his mother and wife unprovided for. With an engraved title showing a picturesque ruin at Bath. CONDITION Expertly rebound in a half calf binding with marbled paper covered boards. Externally, very smart. Internally, firmly bound.
