The Edinburgh Cabinet Library was a series of 38 books, mostly geographical, published from 1830 to 1844, and edited by Dionysius Lardner. The original price was 5 shillings for a volume; a later reissue of 30 of the volumes was at half that price. The series was published jointly by Oliver and Boyd in Edinburgh, and Simpkin & Marshall in London, and in the years 1848 to 1851 was published in a new edition by Thomas Nelson & Sons.
