About This Item
Francis P. Harper, 1893. Hardcover. Near Fine. Four volumes 8vo in publisher's green cloth, titles in gilt. No. 365 of 1,000 copies. Bindings tight and square, all hinges firm, the title page of Vol. I very neatly separated. The slightest touch of rubbing at the corners, one very tiny slit at the top of each spine, very shallow rubbing and loss of cloth at the top of the spine of Vol. IV. The contents of Vol. IV, including the fold-out maps, are pristine. A lovely set overall.
