Complete in ten volumes, all uniformly bound in contemporary full speckled calf leather with gilt decoration and red and black leather spine labels. Top edges gilt. Seven engraved frontispieces and one other engraving. The famed coloured marble leaf forms pp111-2 of volume two. Later endpapers, showing some marginal toning. 12mos. Boards a little worn, especially on corners, some of which are rubbed and rounded and spine joints, and spine a little faded. Internally neat, clean and bright barring a little light spotting affecting all volumes and some old marginal damp stains affecting volumes six to eight. Binding remains robust and square on all volumes - volumes 1, 6 and 10 in particular have a little fraying of leather at the head of the spine. A very attractive, tactile set.
