Vol. 1 Div. 2 has the front hinge starting, and a red stain near the bottom of the rear board. Vol. 2 Div. 1 has the front hinge starting. Vol. 2 Div. 2 has the front hinge broken, and the title page loose. Vol. 3 Div. 1 has a scar in the cloth of the front cover, front hinge starting and rear hinge weak. Vol. 3 Div. 2 is the worst shaken, with the front hinge broken so that the ffep, frontis and title page have come loose together; also a loose plate ('Sceptre') at p. 700. Good plus overall.
