OF

EDINBURGH;

CONTAINING

A HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION

OF THE CITY,

WITH A PARTICULAR ACCOUNT OF

EVERY REMARKABLE OBJECT IN,

OR ESTABLISHMENT CONNECTED WITH, THE
SCOTTISH METROPOLIS.

By J. STARK.

ILLUSTRATED WITH A PLAN, AND UPWARDS OF
THIRTY ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD.

Here Wealth still swells the golden tide,
As busy Trade his labours plies;
There Architecture's noble pride
Bids elegance and splendour rise;
Here Justice from her native skies,
High wields her balance and her rod
There Learning, with his eagle eyes,
Seeks Science in her coy abode.
