Virgil. Opera, varietate lectionis et perpetua adnotatione illustrata, a 
C. G. Heyne [Works, edited by Christof Gottlieb Heyne]. London: T. Payne 
et al., 1793.  Third edition.  Four volumes (without the frontispiece 
and engraved vignettes) in contemporary full leather, gilt decoration, 
titles. A good deal of superficial flaking, one volume number label 
(Vol. I) missing from spine.  Internally tight and clean throughout. The 
speckled leather and bit of gilt not withstanding, a rather plain set, 
but with the bookplates and from the library of Sir William Gregory, 
“The Right Hon.ble W. H. Gregory, K.C. M.G., Coole Park, Gort, Ireland”, 
husband of Lady Augusta Gregory  (playwright for the Irish National 
Theatre and confidante of W.B. Yeats, among others).  See, for example, 
Yeats’ poetry collection  The Wild Swans at Coole (1917).  750 USD

Cordially,
