A little staining to the front boards of Vols III and IV, and to the spines of Vols II and III. Internally, all volumes are firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, but with some spotting to the first few pages, the plates and the fore edge, which affects the occasional page. There is a small closed tear to the folding map, which does not affect the image. Very Good . Ill.: Not Stated. Very Good .
