Bidding ended. Lot is unsold.

The bindings for this set are in very poor condition exhibiting extensive sun damage, cracking and splitting to spines. Several of the volumes have boards detached. Internally the volumes appear to be complete, although we have not collated each volume thoroughly. The plates are uncoloured. Volume 1 exhibits some foxing and staining, but many of the other volumes are very clean and crisp, and appear to have never been read.
