Description

3 volumes. First edition. 8vo, in the publisher's original and Purdy's primary binding of red cloth, the upper cover lettered and paneled to produce two vignettes from drawings by Hardy all in black, the spines lettered and decorated with sword and trumpet in gilt and black and with the two line ruled borders on the rear covers in blind. Housed in a blue cloth-coverd clamshell box with morocco label gilt lettered. [ii], vi, 296; [ii], vi, 276; [ii], vi, 259 pp. A very handsome set, the bindings attractive and fresh, expert and unobtrusive refurbishment at the spine tips, the text-block tight and quite clean and fresh, essentially no spotting whatsoever and only the lightest age mellowing, a very pleasing set indeed.
