green ribbon marker. Each volume illustrated with a frontispiece, plus

The spines of each volume are somewhat lightened. Bottom edge of spine 
of volume I slightly frayed. Raised bands to spines of several volumes 
slightly rubbed.A few nicks to leather, but nothing untoward. The 
contents are very clean and bright throughout, with no former owner's 
markings - it appears that this set was seldom opened. Slight residual 
odor of smoke, if one presses one's nose into the book. Overall, a most 
handsome set in good plus, to very good, condition. Photos available.
