Collated, complete with a frontispiece and three monochromatic plates to each volume. In red cloth bindings. Externally, sound. Slight rubbing and bumping to head and tails of spines, resulting in small splits to the cloth. Ink marks to boards of Volume II. Joints starting but firm. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages bright and generally clean, with light spotting to the occasional page. Good . Ill.: Various. Good .
