Encyclopaedia Perth-ensis
Spotted in Greyfriars Cemetery.
From Wikipedia, Encyclopaedia Perthensis was a "Universal dictionary of knowledge, collected from every source and intended to supersede the use of all other English books of reference", published in two editions from 1796 to 1816. But most of the text was taken verbatim from the third edition of Encyclopædia Britannica!
