WISE, Thomas A. History of Paganism In Caledonia, With An Examination Into The Influence of Asiatic Philosophy, And The Gradual Development of Christianity in Pictavia.
London: Trubner & Co., 1884. First edition. 4to., original green cloth, xxvi, 259, (1), (2)pp. appendix, (10)pp. index, (1) “corrections and additions." With the errata slip. With two full page tinted engravings “The Maiden Stone, Aberdeenshire" and “Various Ornaments"; with numerous engravings in the text. A bit of foxing on the endpapers, minor rubbing to extremities but in fact a near fine copy. ‘Dr. Wise divides his volume into three books.

The first treats the social character of the inhabitants of Caledonia; the second of the History and Tenets of Buddhism; and the third gives an account of the history of Christianity in Pictland. These books are all divided again into chapters, and the letterpress is abundantly illustrated. That Dr. Wise brings a vast amount of learning to bear upon his subject, and that he has spared no pains to make his treatment of it as complete as possible consistently with the thesis he attempts to prove, we need hardly say. The antiquities of Scotland have rarely been treated so elaborately, and perhaps never before has so much learning been used for their elucidation.' (Scottish Review, 1885).
