About This Item
A two-violume set, with ten essays in each volume. Cover has marbled paper and leather at the corners and the spine. Most of the wear is to the leather, which is now well over 100 years old. Pictured is a split in the leather along the spine hinge at the top rear of Volume I. A similar split has formed along the lower front hinge of Volume II. The pages appear to be clean, tight and unmarked. The cover and the decorative endpapers (see photos) indicate that this was likely as deluxe reprint, with no date, probably from the early 20th century. This set will ship at over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily.
