Charles St. John (1809-1856) was an English naturalist and sportsman who spent much of the second half of his life living in the north of Scotland, captivated by the rugged landscape and abundant wildlife. This work, drawn from his personal papers, was first published posthumously in 1863 and is a month-by-month compilation of notes on sport and natural history in Moray between 1847 and 1853. A second edition was published in 1882, illustrated with 40 etchings (heliogravures) by George Reid and J. Wycliffe Taylor, and vignettes reproduced from the author's sketchbooks. This is a specially-bound private printing of the illustrations to the second edition in oblong folio format. It was presented by the publisher David Douglas to John Alexander Harvie-Brown, the famous Scottish naturalist who assisted the publisher in the production of this edition. It has 47 etchings as compared to the 40 issued in the standard work, including six plates which were rejected for the 1882 edition.
