This is a handsome set bound in a contemporary 3/4 calf over marbled paper covered boards, beautifully rebacked, red and black spine labels gilt, compartments decoratively stamped in gilt, endpapers re-newed. A clean bright set without the usual scattered foxing with the exception of volume I p. 72-73 has a bit of off-setting to upper margins from something laid in at one time. Very nice.
