Foolscap 8vo. 35 volumes, set. Some reprints but most volumes are the first impression of this edition. Original dark navy leather, gilt. Top edges gilt. Silk marker ribbons. Only volume 8 is lacking its jacket. That volume is slightly faded and rubbed on the spine, with a little rubbing to the edges and neat ink ownerships on the front endpapers. All the other volumes have jackets which generally have chips, tears and loss varying from tiny to quite large. The contents are clean, with no other ownership marks and the leather bindings are incredibly fresh and well-preserved. A near fine set in good to very good d/ws.
