- Gilpin, Wm: Observations... on Great Britain, and High-Lands of Scotland, 2 volsLocated in Middletown, NYThis is Gilpin's third in his series of works tracing picturesque beauty in British natural landscapes.

He is best known as a travel writer and as one of those who originated the idea of the picturesque.
