Description

3 vols., 8vo., with an engraved portrait of the author and 19 engraved plates; publisher's original boards, cloth backs, paper labels (labels worn and faded but most lettering just legible), uncut, boards lightly soiled and age-marked, corners lightly bruised, long split in lower joint of third volume (but all bindings entirely sound), a very good, clean, entirely unrestored set in scarce and fragile binding. In line with the convention of the period, all the plates in each volume are placed together at the front, since it was intended that the publisher's binding should be replaced on purchase by a house, family or other 'style' binding. Accordingly, each volume has the 'Directions to Binder' leaf indicating the proper position of each plate. COPIES IN THE ORIGINAL BINDING (AND IN THIS CONDITION) ARE SCARCE
